The World Food Programme warns that 318 million people will face critical levels of hunger next year, double the 2019 figure. The scale represents a rapidly intensifying global food emergency with millions at risk of severe malnutrition and death. Multiple drivers are contributing, including armed conflicts that disrupt production and markets, climate-related shocks that reduce harvests, economic difficulties and rising food prices that erode access, and humanitarian funding shortfalls that limit relief operations. Urgent scaling of food assistance, increased funding, market stabilisation, and protection of vulnerable livelihoods are needed to prevent widespread famine and long-term food insecurity.
