WORLD – The World Food Programme (WFP) has warned of the far-reaching consequences of ongoing conflicts on food security locally, regionally, and internationally, emphasizing that continued disruptions in supply chains and markets could lead to an imminent food catastrophe threatening millions worldwide.

Key Figures from the Warning

• An additional 45 million people face the immediate risk of hunger if the conflict continues, highlighting the severe impact on vulnerable civilians.

• Disrupted supply chains threaten the delivery of essential goods to markets, driving up prices and worsening the humanitarian crisis, especially in the most fragile countries.

Ongoing conflicts not only affect food supplies but also directly undermine the stability of families and children, with millions of children exposed to the risk of malnutrition and loss of educational opportunities due to displacement and the loss of food security.
