Causes of the Hunger Crisis 
Poverty
Around the world, 648 million people live in extreme poverty
They survive on less than $2.15 a day, an amount which is impossible to support a healthy livelihood in any part of the world.
-
More than 3 billion people in the world are unable to afford the average cost of an inexpensive healthy diet. In both wealthy and poor countries, insufficient incomes to meet rising cost of nutritious foods can have serious impacts.
Without sufficient and sustainable incomes, families cannot afford access to nutritious food, clean water, or health care.
-
War
While peace is the ultimate solution, it’s vital to protect the lives, health, and wellbeing of families affected by conflicts and crises.
-
That’s why we work to save lives and prevent hunger in the most challenging and complex conflict zones around the world, including Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Nigeria.
Conflict disrupts harvests, hampers the delivery of humanitarian aid, and forces families to flee their homes.
-
More than 85% of people experiencing hunger crises live in conflict-affected countries, many of which are caused by disputes over food, water, or the resources needed to produce them.
Climate Change
-
-
Climate change has a dramatic impact on the quantity and nutritious quality of food produced around the world.
Drought, floods, fires, heatwaves, and other climate shocks are driving people from their homes, destroying livelihoods, and pushing communities deeper into hunger.
-
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
-
Without clean water and sanitation, children recovering from hunger often fall sick again.
Every day, nearly 1,000 children under five die from diseases linked to unsafe water, inadequate sanitation, or poor hygiene practices.
While hunger often dominates headlines, unsafe water and poor sanitation quietly claim more lives each year than any conflict.
We can’t fight hunger without fighting the diseases that fuel it. Every day, more than 1,000 children die from waterborne illnesses caused by unsafe water, poor sanitation, and unhygienic living conditions.
Disasters
Throughout history, earthquakes, floods, and other disasters have devastated communities around the world, but emergencies have become much more frequent and severe due to climate change, urbanization, and other factors.
-
Around the world, we deliver rapid, effective, lifesaving assistance—and we stay for the long-term to create sustainable solutions for whole communities.
For these families, short-term emergencies can quickly multiply and turn into longer-term crises.
With emergency teams on call and a constant stock of essential supplies at the ready, we provide urgent humanitarian assistance when disaster strikes.
Communities already living in poverty are the most vulnerable to disasters and generally have the fewest resources to bounce back.
