THE COUNTRIES SUFFERING THE MOST FROM HUNGER

More than 30 million people in 22 countries and territories are facing severe food crises and are on the brink of famine unless they receive immediate life-saving assistance, according to the latest Hunger Hotspots report by FAO and the World Food Programme. 
Conflict, economic downturns, inequality and climatic disasters such as droughts and floods are major  drivers of global food insecurity.

Countries where hunger is most severe

Burkina Faso

BURKINA FASO

Increasing conflict in Burkina Faso is driving up food prices, pushing thousands of people into food insecurity and more than 40,000 into famine.

MALI

Mali, which already had high levels of acute food insecurity, is experiencing an escalation of violent conflict, causing hunger to increase further. For the first time, thousands of people are suffering from "catastrophic" levels of hunger.

OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY

Between December 2023 and February 2024, at the height of the conflict, the entire population (about 2.2 million people) is estimated to be facing high levels of acute food insecurity, including more than half a million people in the most critical situation on the food insecurity scale.
