2:53Now PlayingThe head of the United Nations health agency congratulated another UN agency, the World Food Programme, for winning the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
"Every day, WFP does incredible work in many countries," said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the World Health Organization Director-General.
"We're delighted for our friends and colleagues at WFP and for the entire UN family," he added. "Congratulations to WFP and the whole UN family."
WFP won for its efforts to combat hunger in regions facing conflict and hardship at a time when the coronavirus has driven millions more people to the brink of starvation.
The Rome-based United Nations agency has long specialised in getting assistance to some of the world’s most dangerous and precarious places, from air-dropping food in South Sudan and Syria to creating an emergency delivery service that kept aid flowing even as pandemic restrictions grounded commercial flights.
