Rome, A United Nations report released on Wednesday indicated that eradicating global hunger by 2030 seems increasingly unlikely, as there has been little change in the number of people suffering from chronic hunger over the past year. The annual report on "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World" stated that approximately 733 million people faced hunger in 2023, equating to one in every 11 people globally and one in every five in Africa, primarily due to conflicts, climate change, and economic crises. David Laborde, Director of the Agrifood Economics Division at the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), who contributed to the survey, noted that while progress has been made in some areas, the global situation has worsened. He added that challenges such as climate change and regional wars have become more severe than anticipated a decade ago. The report warned that if current trends continue, around 582 million people will suffer from chronic undernourishment by the end of the decade, with half of them in Africa.
