Global Hunger in Africa Worsens
The world is suffering from a decline in efforts to combat hunger, particularly in the sub-Saharan Africa region where hunger levels have increased since 2018. Food aid funding has decreased by 59% between 2022 and 2025. Reports indicate that seven out of the eight countries with high levels of hunger are located in this region, which also hosts the three most severe food crises worldwide. The Global Hunger Index has risen for the first time since 2000, with deterioration or limited progress seen in 52 countries, due to armed conflicts, natural disasters, and rising food prices, all of which have led to displacement and destroyed livelihoods. Globally, the number of people suffering from chronic hunger has fallen to 645 million by 2025; however, the data suggest that the crisis is particularly worsening in Africa, as challenges escalate due to shrinking government and humanitarian funding.
