A global food crisis brought on by the conflict in Ukraine brings new threats to children.
Skyrocketing wheat prices could put millions of children in the world’s most fragile contexts, such as Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria, at risk of illness or even death due to hunger. In places like South Sudan and the Sahel, the ongoing conflict has hindered access to food for years.
In Kenya, 3.5 million people are suffering extreme hunger. In Somalia, up to 1.5 million children could be facing severe acute malnutrition by October.
