Fighting, displacement and lack of humanitarian access places millions at risk of sliding into emergency levels of acute food insecurity and malnutrition

Action Against Hunger is warning that 44 per cent of the population, approximately 4.9 million people, are dealing with crisis levels of hunger due to the recent escalation of violence.

NGOs collectively urge the convening of the UN Security Council to pass a Resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire following the recent meeting addressing the threat of famine-induced conflict in Gaza.

Renewed hostilities could jeopardise the safety of 21.6 million people already in need of humanitarian assistance, while also threatening their access to food and medical supplies.

Barrages of Russian missile strikes have been striking essential civilian infrastructure in several Ukrainian cities. This has restricted access to water, heating and electricity.

The United Nations has launched its £37 billion appeal to support 180.5 million people across 72 countries with humanitarian aid and protection.

The charity has released a statement welcoming the four-day truce, but calling for an extension to ensure civilians are protected and our humanitarian response can be scaled-up.

The UK's new Foreign Secretary David Cameron arrives at a critical time, with hunger and malnutrition rates rising globally.
