Reports

Among them is Sudan and Palestine, hunger exacerbated in 13 regions, 5 of which face the risk of death

A report shows “Hot Hunger” Sudan, Palestine, South Sudan, Haiti, and Mali are foci that require the highest levels of anxiety, as their societies are already facing famine, risk of starvation or catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity due to the escalation of conflicts or their continuation, economic shocks, and natural disasters. These destructive crises are exacerbated by the increasing restrictions on the arrival of aid and the severe deficiency in financing.

The report, issued twice annually, is a proactive analysis and an early warning of the deterioration of food crises during the next five months, and it is issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Program. The latest release of the report is expected to have a serious deterioration in the sharp food insecurity in 13 countries and the region, which includes in addition to the five countries mentioned: Yemen and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Chad, Somalia and Syria.

The Director General of the Food and Agriculture Organization, Shu Donio, said that this report clarifies that hunger today “It is not a far threat – it is a daily emergency for millions of people. We have to move now and collectively to save lives and protect livelihoods. Protecting people’s farms and animals to ensure their continuation of food production even in the most difficult circumstances is not just an urgent issue – it is necessary.”

As for the CEO of the World Food Program, Cindy McCain, she described the report as a “red warning”, adding that the human community has tools and experience to respond, “But without financing and access, we cannot save lives.”

In many hot areas, aid delivery is greatly obstructed due to the restriction of human access due to insecurity, bureaucratic obstacles, or material isolation. At the same time, the sharp deficiency of financing is forced to reduce food rations, which limits the scope of life -saving food and agricultural interventions.

“Harsh accounts”

Meanwhile, the United Nations and its partners revealed a chain of assistance “It is a top priority” It aims to assist 114 million people who face their lives around the world, while the humanitarian sector still faces the largest financing discounts ever.

In this regard, the Undersecretary of the Secretary -General for Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher: said: “We had to set priorities regarding saving lives. Accounts are harsh, and the consequences are shy. Many people will not get the support they need, but we will save the largest possible number of lives with resources available to us.”

The general view of the 2025 global humanitarian work, which was launched last December, aims to help 180 million people in 70 countries, but it only received $ 5.6 billion of the required financing of $ 44 billion – which represents less than 13% over the year.

The plan issued today does not aim to replace the global plan, but rather seeks to determine the priorities of responses based on the most urgent needs, it seeks to raise $ 29 billion in financing.

Mr. Fletcher said that the financing discounts left the human community in front of “Harsh options.” He added: “All we ask is one percent of what you chose to spend last year on the war. But this is not just an appeal for money – it is an invitation to global responsibility, human solidarity, and a commitment to end the suffering.”
