Conflict, economic shocks and climate change have left record numbers of people facing extreme hunger in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso.

Across the world, hunger crises are disproportionately impacting children. Learn why children are especially vulnerable to famine and what the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ is doing to help. 

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ reports that, without drastic action, the economic downturn caused by COVID-19 will suspend global progress toward ending hunger by at least five years. 

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ finds conflict-affected countries need $1.7B to limit potential hunger brought on by COVID-19, $760M needed in high refugee-hosting developing countries.

Humanitarian needs in countries such as Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and Somalia could rise as a result of the conflict in Ukraine. Here are three reasons why.

The devastating impact of the war in Ukraine is being felt by crisis-affected communities around the world. People living in low-income, food import-dependent countries already impacted by conflict, COVID-19 and climate change are now suffering from the ripple effects of food supply chain disruptions, skyrocketing food prices and rising inflation. Drawing on the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡â€™s work in food insecure contexts, this report outlines how the ripple effects of the war in Ukraine are compounding a pre-existing hunger crisis, and how the G7 and wider international community can prevent the war from pushing other vulnerable communities closer to famine.

Drought and conflict have left record numbers of people in the East Africa and other regions in dire need of aid. The world must act now to avert famine.
