Hunger set to worsen in 16 ‘hotspots’ worldwide: report
Hunger is projected to worsen in 16 “hotspots” across the globe, including Sudan, where conflict has left millions at risk of starving.
That’s according to a report released Thursday by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Food Programme.
It said acute food insecurity threatens 22 countries.
The document lists Nigeria, Sudan, and Yemen among the areas of highest concern as it highlights regions facing extreme food shortages.
The report also drew attention to Palestine, which is facing unprecedented food insecurity, primarily in Gaza, which is facing Israeli blockades of food, medicine, and other essentials.
Escalating hostilities have also nearly tripled the number of people experiencing “catastrophic” food insecurity levels.
