Press releases and statements

The charity reacts to the FAO's annual flagship report: "there is a growing disparity between regions and populations affected by hunger, now is not the time for complacency."

Action Against Hunger UK's Head of Advocacy, Kate Munro, has commented on why climate change finance should be made additional to overseas aid spending.

Action Against Hunger UK, along with ten other humanitarian charities, have called on the UK government to close the $5 billion funding gap and tackle the hunger crisis facing 28 million people in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and South Sudan.

As the Government extends the freeze on international aid spending, the UK must make tackling the hunger crisis a priority. Read our statement.

Action Against Hunger comments on Russia suspending its backing of the Black Sea grain export deal due to its conflict with Ukraine intensifying.

The pattern of escalation in Ukraine has forced several aid agencies to suspend operations in the country over safety concerns for their staff and populations in need of support, until it is safe to resume.

According to a report released from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a panel of independent experts, including Action Against Hunger, said parts of East Africa are facing catastrophic hunger levels.

We welcome the announcement of an additional £372 million to provide immediate and long-term relief to countries facing the escalating hunger crisis. But this is less than half of what is urgently needed to avoid a famine in east Africa alone.

The UK today pledged £88m at the UN Yemen Pledging Conference 2022 to respond to the escalating needs in Yemen.
