Over 80 percent of those facing imminent famine — 577,000 people — were in Gaza, he said. South Sudan, Burkina Faso, Somalia and Mali each host many thousands also facing catastrophic hunger. Additionally, while the El Nino phenomenon peaked in early 2024,"its full impact on food security – including flooding and poor rain in parts of east Africa and drought in southern Africa, especially Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe – are like to manifest throughout the year."
There is also the year-old conflict in Sudan, which has created the world's largest internal displacement crisis"with atrocious impacts on hunger and nutrition," he added.
