A report prepared by the United Nations, in cooperation with five United Nations specialized agencies, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Food Programme (WFP), shows that multiple crises over the past few years have pushed an additional 122 million people into hunger since 2019.
According to the report, the number of people currently facing hunger is about 735 million people, compared to 613 million in 2019, due to the Corona pandemic, frequent climate shocks, and conflicts, including the war in Ukraine. In the report, the five agencies warned that the Sustainable Development Goal of ending hunger by 2030 will not be achieved if current trends remain unchanged.
