GENEVA (AN) — Global hunger soared to affect almost one-in-10 people on the planet even before Russia's war in Ukraine upended the world's 'bread basket,' five United Nations agencies reported on Wednesday.
Estimates show that between 702 million and 828 million people, or 9.8% of the world population, went hungry in 2021, according to a 260-page report by the Food and Agriculture Organization, International Fund for Agricultural Development, UNICEF, World Health Organization and World Food Program.
