Middle East conflict risks pushing 45 million more into hunger by June 2026, warns WFP.
The World Food Programme warns that ongoing Middle East conflict, intensified by U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran and retaliatory actions, could push 45 million more people into acute hunger by June 2026, raising global food insecurity to record levels.
Disruptions to shipping routes, soaring oil and food prices, and increased aid delivery costs are straining global supply chains, particularly affecting import-dependent nations.
The WFP reports 318–319 million people are already acutely food insecure, with aid operations hampered by funding cuts and blocked humanitarian corridors.
Vulnerable regions including Sudan, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Lebanon face deepening crises, while rising fuel and shipping expenses threaten to price millions out of stable food sources.
