First on Fox: The State Department says that it is working rapidly that it is working fast to distribute thousands of tons of food aid worldwide, pushing back on reports that were preparing to provoke hundreds of ton of stockpills before being distributed to the US.
According to data shared with Fox News Digital, the agency currently has 59,305 MT in-in-in-in-in-in-in-food items stored in warehouses in the United States and abroad.
A senior State Department official said, “We have already finished all food before October 2026.” “The idea that we have tones to finish food, we are letting them go on the garbage, it’s just false.”
The State Department says that it has approved 44,422 metric tons of food for the World Food Program (WFP), Catholic relief services, Mercy Corps and Agriculture (CNFA) through partnership with the cultivation of new frontiers. This includes 30,000 tonnes of short-dated food supply already programmed for delivery in crisis areas like Syria, Bangladesh and Sudan.

Additional 12,000 tonnes of assistance is waiting for the final reprogram, a delay in the management and budget (OMB) is a temporary hold on the II appointments by the Title II appointments – an issue officials say that it is now resolved.
The official said, “There is a delay to this extent that is causing operational problems, it is not from the State Department,” the official said. “All foods are ending in the next 16 months.”
The official also rejected the recent media coverage, arguing that a large picture is distorted by focusing on a limited amount of food near the end. “Very small part – less than 1% of USAID food reserves – the exception addressed by the mainstream media that distracts from the very broad and systematic process that we directed to ensure that all food was attributed to a efficient and strategic way.”
