  "account": "At a news conference at United Nations headquarters in New York, World Food Programme chief Luke Lindberg denounced the hunger situation in Gaza as \"unacceptable\" and vowed to shield his staff from attacks. Citing funding cuts as a major obstacle, Lindberg emphasized the urgent need in Gaza. He stressed that staff security is his top priority, vowing to defend his team members globally against violence. Lindberg, backed by the United States, highlighted the agency's partnership with the US, which is its largest donor. He reiterated that combating hunger requires collective effort, emphasizing there's no single entity capable of achieving this alone.",
  "summary": "Luke Lindberg said staff security was his top concern when asked about Israeli troops firing on UN convoys, given his White House connections.",
