The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre’s latest research paints a grim picture of devastating food insecurity and nutrition crises, with no signs of improvement in 2025. Its report reveals that acute food insecurity rose from 281.6 million in 2023 to 295.3 million in 2024, primarily driven by Nigeria, Myanmar, and Sudan’s armed conflicts.According to the new Global Report on Food Crises, around 37.7 million children and 10.9 million pregnant women suffered from acute malnutrition last year. The report also draws attention to the entire population in the Gaza Strip, which was exposed to acute food insecurity.
