Middle East Conflict Pushes Millions into Hunger
The Middle East is facing a food crisis resulting from the regional conflict sparked by American and Israeli attacks on Iran, which have disrupted major shipping routes and caused oil and food prices to soar. The World Food Programme anticipates that millions of people will suffer from severe food insecurity, while costs continue to rise due to higher fuel and transportation prices, along with funding concerns. This situation threatens to reduce humanitarian aid and increase risks for populations in affected countries such as Somalia and Afghanistan. At the global market level, food prices experienced a slight dip in May, with grain prices rising and vegetable oil prices declining, and it is expected that grain production will decrease by 2% for the 2026-2027 season.
