About 10 percent of people globally are likely undernourished and hunger eclipsed population growth in 2020, according to a report by five U.N. agencies.
said that Africa experienced the most severe rise in hunger in the last year, with 21 percent of people estimated to be undernourished, the Associated Press reported. The U.N. believes the uptick is related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Yet even before the pandemic, hunger was spreading; progress on malnutrition lagged," the U.N. wrote in the report. "A full 3 billion adults and children remain locked out of healthy diets, largely due to excessive costs,'' the report said.A villager who had volunteered to fetch gunny bags containing food rations from the site of an air drop takes a break at a village in Ayod county, South Sudan, where World Food Programme carried out a food drop of grain and supplementary aid on February 6, 2020.
