WFP: Middle East conflict drives hunger
The World Food Program has confirmed that conflict in the Middle East is exacerbating the hunger crisis, as rising fuel and transportation costs lead to higher food prices. Additionally, a lack of funding forces aid agencies to reduce their assistance efforts. It is expected that 6.5 million people in Somalia and 17.4 million in Afghanistan will face food insecurity in 2026, with the number of beneficiaries worldwide increasing if circumstances remain unchanged. The program also pointed out that rising fuel prices increase the costs of transporting aid and delay international supply operations.
