The number of hungry on the planet for the first time exceeded 250 million people - UN.

In 2022, the number of undernourished people in the world increased by 65 million in a year and reached 258 million people in 58 countries. This figure was a record for seven years. The war, extreme weather events and the consequences of the pandemic are all to blame. The worst situation is in Somalia, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan and Yemen. There, 38 million people live in an extremely deplorable situation on the verge of starvation. There are 35 million children under the age of five among the hungry. About a quarter of them are severely nutritionally deficient, and this threatens their lives.
