Potential impact of a US-Israel war with Iran: 45 million more people facing hunger
If the conflict between the US and Israel on one side and Iran on the other continues, the world could see an additional 45 million people suffering from hunger, according to an analysis by the United Nations World Food Programme.
Military actions have blocked key routes for delivering humanitarian aid, delaying vital supplies to some of the most crisis-affected regions globally.
This development threatens to worsen the humanitarian crisis and increase hunger in vulnerable countries.
The UN World Food Programme works to combat hunger worldwide, coordinating humanitarian aid and supporting those affected by conflicts and natural disasters.
The threat of 45 million more people facing hunger highlights the urgent need for peaceful resolution of the conflict and maintenance of humanitarian corridors to stabilize the situation and prevent a greater catastrophe.
Going forward, ensuring uninterrupted humanitarian deliveries and diplomatic efforts will be crucial to avert a large-scale humanitarian disaster.
