Global Issues: World Hunger
World Hunger
Although the number of undernourished people has
dropped by over 20% since 1992 (216 million fewer than in 1990-92) today there
are 815 million people who do not have enough to eat. This is
more than the 795 million in 2014, although still down from about 900 million
in 2000.
Nearly half of all deaths in children under
5 are attributable to under nutrition. This translates into the unnecessary loss
of about 3 million young lives a year.

▪ War and Displacement
Across the globe, conflicts consistently
disrupt farming and food production. Fighting also forces millions of people to
flee their homes, leading to hunger emergencies as
