UN agencies and development groups on Wednesday presented reports stating how food insecurities worsened around the world in 2023 and more than 282 million people suffered from acute hunger due to conflicts in Gaza and Sudan.
Extreme weather events and economic shocks have contributed to an increase in the number of people experiencing acute food insecurity. According to the latest global report on food crises from the Food Security Information Network (FSIN), this figure has risen by 24 million people compared to 2022.
The report characterizing the global outlook as “bleak” for the current year, is compiled for an international alliance that includes UN agencies, the European Union, and various governmental and non-governmental entities.
2023 marked the fifth consecutive year of increases in the number of individuals experiencing acute food insecurity. A significant portion of the rise observed last year can be attributed to the expanded geographic coverage of the report, along with deteriorating conditions in 12 specific countries.
More geographical areas experienced “new or intensified shocks” while there was a “marked deterioration in key food crisis contexts such as Sudan and the Gaza Strip”, Fleur Wouterse, deputy director of the emergencies office within the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), told AFP.
