As global hunger is showing signs of decline, a new United Nations report highlights a troubling trend in Africa, where hunger continues to rise.
According to media report, an estimated 512 million people worldwide will remain undernourished by the end of the decade, 60% of them in Africa.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a stark warning during the African Union’s Global Food Systems Summit, held in Ethiopia.
Guterres cautioned that food must never be used “as a weapon of war,” as he joined other leaders in calling for urgent action to address the continent’s deepening food crisis.
