Even though we have enough food to feed everyone on earth, the number of people going hungry in the world is rising. So why can’t 828 million people get the food they need? Armed conflict remains the main cause.
Due to conflict, people are forced to move. Key infrastructure including houses, health facilities and crops are destroyed.
The current conflict in Ukraine is yet another recent example. It has also deepened the existing global food crisis because many countries at risk of famine depend on food imports from Ukraine and Russia.
Focusing on Africa, Asia and the Middle East, this report provides an overview of the impact of conflict on hunger and malnutrition in countries of particular concern. It also offers recommendations to UN Member States to address life-threatening hunger and stop its rise.
