Hunger scale determined
Maximo Torero, chief economist for the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, said international experts have set the hunger scale to put 705,000 people in five countries at stage five, considered the highest level. The number is the highest since the global report began in 2016 and quadruples the number reported in 2016, he said.
People are migrating because of hunger
According to a leading economist, 80 percent of those facing severe famine, or 577,000, are in Gaza alone. Whereas thousands of people are dying of hunger in South Sudan, Somalia and Mali. A big problem is being faced in providing help here.
The situation will worsen in the near future
The report predicts future scenarios. About 1.1 million people in Gaza and 79,000 people in South Sudan could reach stage five by July and face famine. Israel and Hamas have been at war for seven months. According to the report, this conflict will increase food insecurity among the Houthis.
