ROME (Reuters) - A goal to eliminate global hunger by 2030 looks increasingly impossible to achieve, with the number of people suffering chronic hunger barely changed over the past year, a U.N. report said on Wednesday.
The annual State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report said around 733 million people faced hunger in 2023 one in 11 people globally and one in five in Africa as conflict, climate change and economic crises take their toll.
David Laborde, director of the division within the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) which helps prepare the survey, said that although progress had been made in some regions, the situation had deteriorated at a global level.
