More than 113 million people suffer 'acute hunger' globally: UN
- 5 years ago
A new report says more than 113 million people across 53 countries experienced "acute hunger" last year,... due to wars and climate disasters.
The UN's annual study, first launched three years ago,... shows Africa was the worst-hit region,... with close to 72 million people on the continent suffering acute hunger.
On a brighter note,... the study noted the overall situation slightly improved compared to 2017,... when 124 million people suffered from acute hunger.
However, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization warned the year-on-year trend of more than 100 million people facing famine is unlikely to change.
