The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) released the Hunger Hotspots Report 2026, warning that acute food insecurity is likely to worsen in 13 countries between June and November 2026. They are Afghanistan, Myanmar, South Sudan, Somalia, Haiti, Sudan, Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, Nigeria and Mali. Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, Palestine, Nigeria and Somalia are of highest concern due to famine risk. About 266 million people already face acute hunger worldwide, driven by conflict, economic shocks, climate change, droughts, floods, disease outbreaks and shrinking humanitarian funding.
