In 2024, 295.3 million people – 22.6 percent of the analyzed population – faced high levels of acute food insecurity in 53 of the 65 countries/territories selected for the Global Report on Food Crises. This is the sixth consecutive annual increase. An additional 13 .7 million people faced high levels of acute food insecurity since 2023, corresponding to a marginal shift in prevalence from 21 .5 percent. Deteriorating acute food insecurity in 19 countries, mainly in conflict-driven crises such as Nigeria, the Sudan and Myanmar, outweighed improvements in 15 others, including Afghanistan, Kenya and Ukraine, due to better economic and weather conditions as well as assistance.
