The Central African Republic (CAR) remains at the top of this list as

the “hungriest country in the world.” CAR has suffered from instability,
ethnic violence and conflict since 2012, disrupting food production and
displacing over one million people — more than one in every five
Central Africans. More than half the population are in need of
humanitarian assistance.

In Chad, continuous drought and unpredictable rains mean that


harvests routinely fail. The country is located in a region called
the Sahel, which has struggled with a hunger crisis for years. Around
a third of the population is chronically malnourished and 40% of
children under 5 are stunted. Conflict in the region has caused
hundreds of thousands of refugees from Nigeria, Central African
Republic, and Sudan to enter Chad — all of whom need emergency
food assistance.
Yemen is in the grips of a brutal conflict that has driven much of the
population from their homes. The civil war continues to fuel Yemen’s
food crisis: some 18 million people face hunger and 8 million are at
risk of starvation. Over 11 million need humanitarian assistance just to
survive.
In politics, humanitarian aid, and social science, hunger is a condition in
which a person, for a sustained period, is unable to eat sufficient food
to meet basic nutritional needs.
The dangers of hunger extend past being temporarily without food. With a weakened
body, malnourished people are much more prone to diseases like tuberculosis,
dysentery and typhoid. The body also begins to feed on its own bone and muscle,
creating a vicious cycle that typically ends with organs like the heart shutting down.
• Hunger is one of the biggest problems in the world
• Even though the ,,world” produces 17% more food per person today than 30 years ago
still about 1 billion people is hungry.
• With all wasted food we would be able to feed world’s hungry 4 times over!
considering that in the world every year die about 54 milion
that means every sixth die because of hunger

 Roughly one third of the food produced in the world for


human consumption every year — approximately 1.3
billion tonnes — gets lost or wasted.
Satisfy world needs
Given the full diversity of the world, especially in poor countries, girls and women
suffer from a lack of basic necessities, but they do not have enough food. In some
countries, women can eat only after all the men in the household are hired. To
influence pregnant women, which means that approximately one in six children in
developing countries are born with low weight.

Approximately 16.6 k children die of strarvation


Lack of food or proper nutrition kills more people than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis together
