The global Catholic Caritas Institute has called for World Hunger Day to find lasting and lasting solutions to end the unprecedented food crisis in the world.
Caritas, which called on the world community on World Hunger Day on Saturday, May 28, said the world’s famine was at an all-time high due to climate change, the outbreak of the Kovit-19 epidemic, and the war, especially in Ukraine.
Explaining the devastating effects of the war in Ukraine on the world, particularly the crisis created by food insecurity, Caritas has called on governments and stakeholders across all sectors to implement sustainable strategies to address global warming.
While 81 crore 10 lakh people in the world go to bed hungry, about 27 crore 60 lakh people face severe food insecurity and millions of people in the Sahara, Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya in Africa, facing severe drought and famine, the agency said.
The agency says child malnutrition has risen by 26 percent during the Great Depression in Venezuela, with 93 million people living in food insecurity, 96 percent living in poverty and living on less than $ 3 a day, and more than 55 percent in Syria facing food insecurity.
Global Caritas calls for priority to be given to projects that support marginalized people, including marginal farmers, and the poor, and to include local producers, consumers, especially women responsible for 60 to 80 percent of food production in developing countries, in policy-making organizations.
