Dear Members of the Board,

I want to share some exciting news. "60 Minutes" will be airing a segment this Sunday on the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. The segment will include video footage from Yemen that was shot by WFP's videographers on the ground, as well as an interview with WFP Executive Director David Beasley, who sat down with CBS in October and is previewed in the teaser.

Here is the teaser CBS just released:

Also, yesterday WFP released a joint statement with WHO and UNICEF about Saudi Arabia's blockade in Yemen: https://wfpusa.org/news-releases/un-leaders-appeal-for-immediate-lifting-of-humanitarian-blockade-in-yemen-lives-of-millions-are-at-risk/

Thank you very much.

All the best,
Rick
