The latest Global Report on Food Crises reveals an alarming rise in acute food insecurity affecting nearly 300 million people, primarily driven by conflict, funding cuts, and economic instability. Chronic food shortages have escalated, with significant populations in the Gaza Strip and Sudan at the highest risk. The report highlights a concerning trend, as the number of people facing severe food insecurity has increased for six consecutive years, with half of Gaza's population projected to suffer from catastrophic food shortages, marking a critical humanitarian crisis.
In 2022, acute food insecurity reached unprecedented levels, affecting 295.3 million people with nearly 300 million at risk of starvation, exacerbated by conflict and humanitarian aid cuts.
The conditions described as catastrophe by the IPC show alarming rates of starvation and malnutrition, with Sudan and Gaza experiencing dire shortages.
