The Heat: World Hunger Crisis

Описание: The World Food Programme's 2026 Global Outlook report finds that an estimated 318 million people will experience acute food insecurity, including 41 million on the brink of starvation or worse, and 1.2 million will face catastrophic hunger.

The organization hopes to help 110 million of the most vulnerable next year, but a shortage of funds and budget uncertainty could upend that goal. #Heat #hunger #famine #malnutrition #sudan #gaza
