The United Nations’ latest report warns that global hunger has risen for the fourth consecutive year, affecting over 780 million people worldwide. Conflict, climate change, and economic slowdown have worsened food insecurity, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of South Asia.
The report notes that despite record global harvests, distribution and affordability remain critical issues. The World Food Programme has called for urgent international cooperation, highlighting that children are the most vulnerable group.
Analysts warn the crisis could trigger further migration and political instability if left unaddressed.
