UN Warns of Global Food Crisis: 333 Million Face Severe Hunger
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
Over three hundred and thirty-three million people now face severe food insecurity, a staggering increase of one hundred and fifty million since pre-pandemic levels, according to a new UN report. The situation is most dire in twenty-seven countries, where over one hundred and twenty-nine million people are experiencing emergency or catastrophic levels of hunger. The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, has called for immediate action to address the root causes of this global food crisis, driven by conflicts, climate change, and the lingering effects of COVID-19. The human impact is immense, with millions of families struggling to put food on the table, leading to malnutrition, health problems, and displacement. The war in Ukraine has exacerbated the situation, disrupting global food supplies and driving up prices. The UN is urging international cooperation to ensure food and humanitarian aid reaches those most in need.
