Almost two dozen countries at high risk of acute hunger, UN report reveals

The ongoing conflict in Sudan has led to severe disruptions in food systems, resulting in extreme hunger and potential famine in various regions.

According to the FAO and WFP, acute food insecurity will worsen in Sudan and other countries due to conflict, violence, and environmental factors.

Qu Dongyu, the FAO's director general, emphasized the dire situation where 'people are experiencing an extreme lack of food and face unprecedented enduring starvation.'

The Hunger Hotspots report indicates that 22 countries will see a rise in acute food insecurity, with Sudan, South Sudan, and Haiti highlighted as critical concerns.
