Global Hunger Crisis: 733 Million People Affected

Efforts to eradicate hunger by 2030 are faltering, with current trends suggesting the target won't be met until 2160.

The Welthungerhilfe's 2024 report highlights that progress in combating global hunger has stagnated, with 733 million people still lacking adequate nutrition.
Regions such as sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia continue to experience the highest hunger rates, exacerbated by conflicts, climate change, and debt crises.
The report emphasizes the disproportionate impact of hunger on women and girls, who are also more affected by climate change's adverse effects.
Despite some improvements in countries like Bangladesh and Mozambique, many nations have seen hunger levels increase or remain unchanged since 2016.
The Welthungerhilfe calls for increased investment in gender equality, education, and sustainable agriculture to address structural inequalities and support long-term solutions.
