WFP’s dire warning: If the war does not stop by June, the world will see record levels of starvation.
Global Hunger Crisis: A very scary warning has emerged regarding starvation across the world. The World Food Program (WFP), a United Nations organization, has warned that if the ongoing war between Iran and Israel is not stopped immediately, then 45 million people in the world may reach the brink of starvation. According to WFP, due to the closure of important sea routes like the Strait of Hormuz, the global supply chain has completely collapsed.

This is having a direct impact on the prices of fertilizers and fuel. If crude oil prices remain above $100 per barrel and this war drags on till June, then it will become impossible for common people to even get two square meals a day. Already about 32 crore people are facing food crisis, but this tension in the Middle East has made the situation even more serious for countries like Somalia and Afghanistan.
WFP says that this military action, which started on February 28, is now pushing the world towards a ‘record level’ of hunger, which will affect the poor and helpless countries the most. Today this war is not limited to the borders of just two countries, but has become a major threat to the entire humanity.
At the same time, WFP also highlights the ongoing crisis in areas such as Afghanistan, Lebanon and Gaza, where millions of people are already affected and a lack of funding is making assistance difficult. In short, WFP’s warning is a major alarm for humanity that hunger from conflict and economic instability could now become a global pandemic. If the conflict does not stop, the future of billions of people will be in danger.
