The Global Hunger Index 2024 painted a grim picture for six countries, highlighting alarming levels of hunger in Chad, Madagascar, Burundi, Somalia, South Sudan, and Yemen.These nations face acute food insecurity due to factors like prolonged conflict, economic instability, and climate shocks such as droughts and floods. Millions of people are suffering from chronic hunger, with children at particular risk of malnutrition.Moreover, Sub-Saharan Africa faces the most severe hunger crisis, with high rates of malnutrition and child mortality.Similar challenges persist in South Asia, where Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan struggle with significant food insecurity. Frequent natural disasters have also hindered progress in reducing hunger in these regions, complicating recovery and development efforts.Overall, the Global Hunger Index 2024 underscored the slow progress toward the goal of Zero Hunger by 2030. With 42 countries facing alarming or serious hunger levels, global efforts have stagnated, and in some cases, hunger is rising again. A staggering 2.8 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet, while many regions are in the grip of acute food crises and famine. The report also highlighted a global failure to uphold the right to food, emphasizing the urgent need for renewed action and humanitarian support.

The Global Hunger Index (GHI) measures hunger severity using indicators like malnutrition and child mortality. Released annually, it provides global, regional, and national data. The GHI highlights areas most in need of resources to combat hunger and offers recommendations to help eradicate it.
The Global Hunger Index 2024 painted a grim picture for six countries, highlighting alarming levels of hunger in Chad, Madagascar, Burundi, Somalia, South Sudan, and Yemen.
These nations face acute food insecurity due to factors like prolonged conflict, economic instability, and climate shocks such as
droughts and
floods. Millions of people are suffering from chronic hunger, with children at particular risk of malnutrition.
Moreover, Sub-Saharan Africa faces the most severe hunger crisis, with high rates of malnutrition and child mortality.
Similar challenges persist in South Asia, where Afghanistan,
India, and Pakistan struggle with significant food insecurity. Frequent natural disasters have also hindered progress in reducing hunger in these regions, complicating recovery and development efforts.
Overall, the Global Hunger Index 2024 underscored the slow progress toward the goal of Zero Hunger by 2030. With 42 countries facing alarming or serious hunger levels,
global efforts have stagnated, and in some cases, hunger is rising again. A staggering 2.8 billion people cannot afford a
healthy diet, while many regions are in the grip of acute food crises and famine. The report also highlighted a global failure to uphold the right to food, emphasizing the urgent need for renewed action and humanitarian support.
