Today an estimated 828 million people are unsure about where their next meal is coming from, while 900,000 people worldwide are battling famine-like conditions, according to the World Food Programme — a number 10 times higher than five years ago.
As a result, some 25,000 people, including more than 10,000 children, are dying each day from hunger and related causes such as undernourishment.
The world is in the throes of a global food and nutrition crisis that’s expected to only get worse, as supplies are projected to hit a three-year low this year.
