According to a report jointly released by UN agencies, the number of people suffering from hunger has increased by over 122 million since 2019. This alarming rise in global hunger is attributed to multiple crises that have occurred in recent years. The report highlights the urgent need for global efforts to address the underlying causes of food insecurity and malnutrition.
Factors such as conflicts, climate change, economic downturns, and the COVID-19 pandemic have all contributed to this concerning trend. The findings underscore the importance of international cooperation and coordinated actions to ensure access to nutritious food for all. Efforts to promote sustainable agriculture, social protection programs, and resilient food systems are crucial to mitigating the impact of these crises and eradicating hunger worldwide.
