Food Aid
Hunger is a complicated issue with no straightforward answer. Fundamentally, it is the lack of food needed to sustain energy levels. Nonetheless, people in poverty face a variety of food-related matters, including malnutrition, obesity, and stunting. At HADI, we believe that it’s hard for children and young adults to succeed in their lives if they are going through food deprivation. Overall health is impaired due to the lack of proper nutrition, and children often lag in school due to a lack of concentration or illness caused by hunger.
The UN has set a goal to abolish hunger by 2030. Despite this resolution, in 2020, between 720 million and 811 million people suffered from hunger worldwide, which is 161 million more than in 2019. Additionally, 2.4 billion people, or more than 30 percent of the world’s population, were suffering from moderate to severe food insecurity, indicating an increase of 320 million from the prior year. Furthermore, 149.2 million children under five experienced stunting (low height for age), though it did decrease from 24.4 percent in 2015 to 22 percent in 2020.
Why we need your support
The number of people going hungry and suffering from food insecurity had been gradually rising between 2014 and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 crisis has pushed those rising rates even higher and has also exacerbated all forms of malnutrition, particularly in children. The war in Ukraine is further disrupting global food supply chains and creating the biggest global food crisis since the Second World War.
720 million
In 2020, between 720 million and 811 million persons worldwide were suffering from hunger, roughly 161 million more than in 2019.
2.4 billion people
Also in 2020, a staggering 2.4 billion people, or above 30 per cent of the world’s population, were moderately or severely food-insecure, lacking regular access to adequate food.
149.2 million
Globally, 149.2 million children under 5 years of age, or 22.0 per cent, were suffering from stunting (low height for their age) in 2020, down from 24.4 per cent in 2015.
5%
To achieve the target of a 5 per cent reduction in the number of stunted children by 2025, the current rate of yearly decline – 2.1 per cent – must double to 3.9 per cent.
45.4 Million
In 2020, wasting (low weight for height) affected 45.4 million or 6.7 per cent of children under 5 years of age.
47%
The share of countries burdened by high food prices, which had been relatively stable since 2016, rose sharply from 16 per cent in 2019 to 47 per cent in 2020.
