UN reports three-year decline in global hunger
The United Nations report showed a decline in global hunger rates for the third consecutive year, with the number of people affected by hunger reaching between 608 and 696 million in 2025. This represents approximately 7.4% to 8.5% of the world's population. Africa stands out with the highest hunger rate, where 20% of its inhabitants are affected. The report warned that food insecurity continues to worsen in rural areas and among women. It also projects a reduction in the number of hungry people to around 510-520 million by 2030, though the majority of the hungry will still be in Africa. Additionally, another UN report identified four Arab countries as hotspots for hunger, due to ongoing wars and conflicts, such as the Iran war, which exacerbates hunger levels and hampers efforts for food development.
