A joint report released by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) warns of a worsening acute hunger crisis in 13 global hotspots by October 2025. The report identifies Gaza, Sudan, South Sudan, Mali, and Haiti as the five areas at immediate risk of famine without urgent humanitarian intervention. The worsening food insecurity is attributed to ongoing conflicts, economic shocks, and climate-related disasters. Millions of people in these regions face the threat of starvation in the coming months, with the UN emphasizing the need for immediate aid to prevent famine and loss of life. The report highlights that hunger is a daily emergency for millions worldwide and stresses the urgency of delivering food assistance to the hardest-hit areas to mitigate the crisis.
