Millions staring at famine as food insecurity soars: Report
Al Jazeera, 05 May 2021
More and more people are facing acute food insecurity.
A new UN report says at least 150 million people in 55 countries are at risk of hunger.
War and conflict are the main contributing factors.
But economic shocks exacerbated by the pandemic and climate change are also major causes.
Yemen, South Sudan and parts of Burkina Faso and northern Nigeria are said to be at or approaching catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
