Five hunger hotspots are of particular concern: Haiti, Mali, the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), South Sudan and Sudan, UN agencies said on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout immediate humanitarian action and concerted efforts to overcome severe access constraints and resolve ongoing conflicts, further starvation and death are likely,\u201d across these five hunger hotspots, warned the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP).<\/p>\n<p>In a new report designed to focus humanitarian action to prevent and respond to such crises, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) noted that famine has already been declared in North Darfur\u2019s Zamzam camp, while other areas of the war-torn country remain at risk of famine. In Gaza, the UN agencies point to the \u201cenduring risk of famine\u201d there, linked to the lack of aid access following the outbreak of war more than a year ago, along with chronic life-threatening hunger in Haiti, Mali and South Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we are to save lives and prevent acute hunger and malnutrition, we urgently need a humanitarian ceasefire,\u201d said QU Dongyu, FAO Director-General. The FAO chief insisted on the need for Palestinians to be given access to highly nutritious food and enabled to start local food production once again.<\/p>\n<p>Echoing that call, Cindy McCain, WFP Executive Director said that it was \u201ctime for world leaders to step up and work with us to reach the millions of people at risk of starvation; delivering diplomatic solutions to conflicts, using their influence to enable humanitarians to work safely, and mobilizing the resources and partnerships needed to halt global hunger in its tracks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In all, 22 countries are designated \u201chunger hotspots\u201d; they are expected to see \u201cincrease in magnitude and severity\u201d of hunger levels because of conflict, economic crisis and climate shocks \u2013 not least from the \u201clooming\u201d La Ni\u00f1a weather phenomenon, whose impact on climates in already vulnerable regions is expected from now until March 2025.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/10\/1156321\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/10\/1156321\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/catastrophic-hunger-persists-in-multiple-countries-warn-food-agencies\/\">\u2018Catastrophic\u2019 hunger persists in multiple countries, warn food agencies<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16766,402,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-hunger-persists","tag-un","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135058"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135058\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
