According to a report published on Wednesday by the global network against food crises - GNAFC - 258 million adults and children worldwide were affected by acute hunger or even humanitarian famine last year due to wars, the economic consequences of the corona epidemic and climate crises.

"More than a quarter billion people are facing acute hunger today, some on the verge of starvation," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres wrote in the report's foreword. "That is unforgivable."

Rein Paulsen, the FAO director for emergencies and resilience, recognized "a very worrying picture". The 258 million people are “at risk households whose lives and livelihoods are threatened.”
