The Dhaka Times Desk The number of people facing hunger rose to 19.3 million last year as livelihoods were destroyed by conflict, climate change, pandemics and economic crises.
On May 4, the United Nations-based organization Global Report on Food Crisis reported all this information in an annual report of 2021.
According to the Deutsche Welle report, among the 53 countries facing this problem, the most affected countries are Congo, Ethiopia, Yemen and Afghanistan. After the Taliban came to power in August last year, there was a massive economic crisis in Afghanistan. Due to which millions of people in the country are facing hunger.
The number of hungry people has steadily increased since the FAO, World Food Program (WFP) and European Union (EU) published their first reports in 2016.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says Russia's war in Ukraine is having the most devastating impact on countries on the brink of food crises and famine.

And because of the war there was a disaster in the supply.
