GLOBAL FOOD CRISIS

We’re responding to the hunger crisis around the world. Your support will provide more families with needed food assistance and relief amid conflict and drought.

Global hunger is on the rise, due in part to three main components: conflict, climate, and COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruptions in food production, supply and distribution that resulted in the number of people struggling with hunger globally to double to 276 million.

Extreme weather is also adding to global hunger. In the last two years, regions in East Africa have experienced four consecutive failed rainy seasons. An estimated 36.4 million people have been affected, 21.7 million of those requiring food assistance.
