Food insecurity in the world’s poorest countries reached record highs in 2020, with millions staring at famine, a situation exacerbated in part by the COVID pandemic, according to a UN report.
From Haiti to Syria, some 155 million people across 55 countries who rely the most on humanitarian assistance were classified as being in “crisis” – meaning in urgent need of food – a 20 million increase since 2019, according to the report released Wednesday.
The report – based on a study organised by the Global Network Against Food Crises, a partnership between the European Union, Food and Agriculture Organization, and the UN World Food Programme – attributed three main factors to the worsening situation: conflict, economic factors related to the COVID pandemic and climate change.

It will be fought over food. BUT, the above WILL be the catalyst for the later.
People have made claims that they want to help Haiti for decades. Usually nothing changes for the poor. Only the politicians (both Haitian and at times American) show obvious benefit. Right Hillary? Right Bill?
Dems are working on that as fast as they can.
“And of course the US and Trump will be blamed;”
I was surprised Trump was not on the list.
Cue Sam Kinison
Something about going where the food is and the film crews for “Feed The Children” keeping sandwiches away from the starving kids.
Money is shoveled into Haiti which only draws parasites.
The Haitian people end up with the poo end of the stick.
Or “burning your neighborhood down to spite your face”.
As soon as they find out he wasn’t he’ll be put at the top.
If we keep feeding them they just pump out more babies.
IIRC, the official government definition if hunger used to be you missed at least one meal a month.
Well, using that definition I think most folks would be time hungry most of the time.
Which was fine until people caught on.
So now it’s food insecurity.
Snort.
A situation exacerbated be corrupt governments.
Most of our "poor" actually need to go on a diet.
Pretext for raising the immigrant ceiling to 155 million, why not at this point.
Food insecurity must be the new buzzword for famine and starvation.
America has the fattest poor people.
Roughly one in fifty, 0.02, not 0.000019. You are understating by a factor of 1000.
Yep those who are having their food taken from them by force should just conjure more out of thin air.
