flag Middle East conflict risks pushing 45 million more into hunger by June 2026, warns WFP.

flag 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. flag Disruptions to shipping routes, soaring oil and food prices, and increased aid delivery costs are straining global supply chains, particularly affecting import-dependent nations. flag The WFP reports 318–319 million people are already acutely food insecure, with aid operations hampered by funding cuts and blocked humanitarian corridors. flag 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. flag The agency urges urgent international action to prevent a worsening global hunger emergency.
