2022 “hunger hotspots” Report From FAO&WFP

The following is the 2022 “hunger hotspots” Report From FAO&WFP recommended by recordtrend.com. And this article belongs to the classification: Life data, research report.

The United Nations World Food Program and the food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations jointly released the latest “hunger hot spots” report. The report warned that due to the impact of conflict, climate shock, COVID-19 and large-scale public debt burden, multiple food crises are approaching. The chain reaction of the conflict in Ukraine has driven up food and fuel prices in many countries around the world, which has exacerbated the food crisis.

The report “hunger hotspots – early warning of sudden food insecurity by the World Food Programme and FAO” points out that sudden hunger in 20 hunger hotspots is expected to worsen from June to September 2022. The report calls for urgent humanitarian action in these areas to save lives and livelihoods and prevent famine.

The report warns that the conflict in Ukraine has further increased the already rising global food and energy prices, which has affected the economic stability of all regions. The impact is expected to be particularly severe in areas with economic instability, soaring prices and declining food production due to climate shocks, such as recurrent droughts or floods.

The report found that frequent and recurrent climate shocks and conflicts continue to lead to sudden hunger. The report points out that we have entered a “new normal”. Drought, floods, hurricanes and cyclones have repeatedly damaged agriculture and animal husbandry, led to population displacement, and pushed millions of people around the world to the brink of danger.

The report warns that the climate trend related to La Nina phenomenon since the end of 2020 is expected to continue until 2022, which will exacerbate sudden hunger and boost humanitarian needs. The unprecedented drought in East Africa is affecting Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya, resulting in lower than average rainfall in the rainy season in these countries for the fourth consecutive year; South Sudan will face large-scale floods for the fourth consecutive year, which may cause people to leave their homes and destroy crop production and livestock breeding. The report also predicts that the rainfall in the Sahel will be higher than the average level, and there is a risk of local flooding. The hurricanes in the Caribbean will be stronger, and the rainfall in Afghanistan will be lower than the average level – Afghanistan has been affected by drought, violence and political instability for many seasons.

The report also highlighted the severe macroeconomic situation in several countries, which was caused by the COVID-19 and exacerbated by the recent turmoil in global food and energy markets. These conditions are causing huge income losses to the poorest communities and limiting the ability of governments to finance social safety nets, income supporting measures and the import of essential goods.

Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen are still on the “highest alert” and are hot spots facing catastrophic conditions. Afghanistan and Somalia have joined this category since the release of the hotspot report in January 2022.
