A staggering 281.6 million people face acute hunger today, primarily driven by conflict. Oxfam's new report highlights that those conditions are intensifying due to the deliberate targeting of food resources.
The report emphasizes that between 7,000 and 21,000 individuals could be dying from hunger daily in conflict-affected nations, showcasing the dire consequences of ongoing wars on food security.
Oxfam's Emily Farr states that warring parties are actively weaponizing food, creating conditions that violate international laws, which exacerbates the starvation crisis in various conflict zones.
As wars continue, the humanitarian crises resulting from forced displacement and widespread hunger are compounding, affecting millions and creating long-term repercussions for generations to come.
