Eliminating Hunger in our Lifetimes

This photographic exhibition portrays some of the millions of people who receive food assistance each year from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).

The 39 images by some of the world's leading photographers are on display in Rome for two days following a successful tour in New York, Geneva and Vienna.

The exhibition is held thanks to the support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one of WFP’s main donors, and is free to the public from 09.30-19.00 on 19-20 February.
