UN warns of hunger affecting 266 million
The United Nations food agencies, FAO and WFP, have warned of an escalating acute hunger in 13 regions around the world in the coming months. Approximately 266 million people are facing severe levels of food insecurity due to conflicts, funding shortages, and climate shocks. The rise in hunger levels is linked to low funding for aid, instability in countries such as Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, and Palestine, as well as Nigeria and Somalia. The deterioration is expected to peak between June and November 2026, with warnings that continued conditions could worsen the humanitarian crisis.
