UN Agency Warns El Niño Could Push 49 Million Into Acute Hunger

UN Agency Warns El Niño Could Push 49 Million Into Acute Hunger

The World Food Programme (WFP) has reported that a powerful El Niño weather event could lead to nearly 49 million additional people facing acute food insecurity by the end of next year. This prediction is based on an 81% chance of a very strong El Niño, with sea surface temperatures at their highest since at least 1982. El Niño, known for altering global weather patterns, is often linked to droughts in Southern Africa, delayed monsoons in parts of Asia, and erratic rainfall elsewhere. The WFP's analysis of 45 vulnerable countries suggests that the number of people experiencing acute food insecurity could rise by 22%, affecting regions like Central America and Southern Africa the most. The report also highlights potential impacts in South America and the Caribbean, with over 12 million additional people possibly falling into acute food insecurity.

UN World Food Programme Warns of El Niño's Impact on Global Hunger

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has issued a warning about the potential impact of a powerful El Niño weather pattern, which could push nearly 49 million more people into acute hunger by the end of next year. The WFP highlighted that this El Niño could become the strongest since 1950, with Pacific Ocean temperatures expected to reach their highest levels since at least 1982. This weather phenomenon is anticipated to cause widespread droughts, floods, and erratic rainfall, threatening food production in vulnerable regions. The WFP's assessment of 45 countries most at risk suggests that the number of people facing acute food insecurity could rise to about 274 million. Central America and Southern Africa are projected to be among the hardest-hit regions, with significant increases in food insecurity. The WFP also noted that funding cuts from the United States and Europe are hindering their ability to track emerging hunger crises effectively.

Afghanistan Faces Rising Child Malnutrition Amid Aid Cuts, Warns World Food Program

The World Food Program (WFP) has reported that child malnutrition in Afghanistan has reached critical levels, affecting a third of the country's provinces. This crisis is exacerbated by funding shortfalls that have forced the WFP to scale back food distributions and other support services. The situation is dire, with many children suffering from acute malnutrition, a condition known as wasting, which requires immediate therapeutic feeding. The WFP has highlighted the impact of conflict, unemployment, rising food prices, and reduced humanitarian funding as contributing factors to the crisis. The agency urgently needs $540 million over the next six months to address these challenges.
