UN report warns global hunger figure rose to 828 mln in 2021
A report from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization says the number of people affected by hunger rose to 828 million in 2021.
This is an increase of 46 million from the previous year.
The report says the number of people affected by hunger has increased by 150 million since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed says world hunger has been on an alarming upward trend in the recent years.
"Projections show that we could still be facing chronic hunger in 2030, at the same level as in 2015 when the 2030 Agenda was launched. This is a shocking report card of our efforts to end hunger. And we can and we must do better."
The report says the current conflict in Ukraine has disrupted international supplies of grain, fertilizer and energy.
It says climate change has also hampered food production and delivery in some parts of the world.
