Global Hunger Crisis Overview
📌 Nearly 90 countries are currently facing a hunger crisis due to food shortages and skyrocketing prices of fuel and fertilizer.
👩‍👧‍👦 An additional 161 million people faced hunger in 2020, many of whom were women and girls; this number is equivalent to half the current US population.
📉 The conflict in Ukraine disrupted nearly 30% of the world's grain supply, impacting trade on vital exports like fertilizer and fuel globally.

Scale of Malnutrition and Urgency
🚨 Today, 345 million people are classified as high risk for severe malnutrition, which is 200 million more than before the COVID-19 outbreak.
🤰 Women and girls are disproportionately affected, leading to issues like miscarriages in pregnant women and developmental deficiencies in babies.
⏳ Even if the war in Ukraine ceases immediately, it may take at least three years for global food supplies and prices to normalize.

Response and Solutions by CARE
🍎 CARE is providing immediate relief through food rations, cash assistance, and malnutrition treatment to save lives.
🌱 The organization is promoting climate-smart agriculture, efficient fertilizer use, and renewable energy for irrigation and storage to help poor farmers secure harvests.
🏛️ CARE is actively engaging governments to ensure they prioritize preventing extreme hunger and increasing future food production.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The crisis is complex, driven by climate change (droughts), conflict (Ukraine war), and economic impacts (COVID-19), leading to inaccessible and unaffordable food.
➡️ Immediate humanitarian aid (food/cash) is critical for survival, alongside long-term sustainable farming solutions.
➡️ Supporting organizations like CARE is essential to ensure governments act and to bridge the gap until global food systems recover, potentially taking three years.
