13 Jul 2023 --- Five UN agencies are warning that 122 million more people are suffering from hunger as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine war, climate shocks and recent conflicts compared to 2019. If no changes are made, the current goal of ending world hunger by 2030 will be unachievable, and instead, 600 million people will be affected. In the Caribbean, Western Africa and subregions of Africa, hunger is still rising while it has reduced in Asia and Latin America. On the African continent, one in five people is facing hunger.
