El Niño may cause 50m to face hunger
The UN warns that the emerging El Niño weather system could push approximately 50 million people into acute hunger by the end of next year, adding to the current 225 million suffering from severe food insecurity in 45 countries. The strongest El Niño in at least 70 years is expected to worsen drought conditions and reduce rainfall in regions such as southern Africa and Asia, with significant impacts on agriculture. While early warning efforts aim to mitigate these effects, experts warn that food prices may rise globally, and the full impact could take years to fully manifest.
