Every minute eleven hungry people die in the world.

  • OXFAM has published the latest data on food poverty in a report. The coronavirus, the climate emergency and wars have greatly worsened the situation.

According to data from OXFAM, in the report The Hunger Virus is doubling, over the past year the price of food has increased by 40%. The rise has also affected basic food: cereals, sugar, meat, oil and dairy.

But in addition to the lack of economic resources, there are other problems added to hunger. OXFAM accuses the coronavirus, the climate emergency and wars of having increased the rate of malnutrition at the international level.

In 2020, the war left 22 million people without food in 23 different countries, a total of 100 million people today, because of the conflicts.

FAO, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, has ratified these data in its State report on food security and nutrition in the world. The report points out that in 2020 9.9% of the population was undernourished, 161 million more than in 2019. This data is particularly collected in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
