Right now, the world stands on the brink of unprecedented famines. Latest reports from the UN suggest acute hunger is alarmingly at a five-year high. 41 million people globally are at imminent risk of famine, experiencing alarming hunger, severe levels of food insecurity and malnutrition. Over 584,000 people are already experiencing famine-like conditions in places like Ethiopia, South Sudan and Yemen. Conflicts, climate change, and Covid-19, along with compounded economic shocks are driving the increase of hunger globally.

Famine is threatening the lives and very existence of communities all over the world

Afghanistan has been ravaged by conflict for decades, political insecurity and a third wave of Covid-19 has left millions of people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Now drought has left 14 million people facing a food crisis.

South Sudan is facing humanitarian crisis coupled with severe food shortages. The country has been struggling to recover from 5 years of conflict that has killed almost 400,000 people. Many communities have been displaced from their homes and are unable to cultivate land. With little access to water and food, the situation is getting worse and worse for most of the population.

8 months of fighting in the Tigray region of Ethiopia has put more than 5 million people at risk of famine, over 2 million people have been displaced from their homes, and thousands have died. The levels of hunger faced by people in Northern Ethiopia is catastrophic.

Years of conflict, economic decline and the Covid-19 pandemic has devastated Yemen. 16.2 million people in the country have experienced acute food insecurity this year. Almost 2.3 million children under the age of 5 are projected to suffer from acute malnutrition. 400,000 children could die if they do not receive urgent humanitarian assistance and treatment.

Every single day people are dealing with severe hunger, millions now face widespread famine if nothing is done to help them.
