Tag: Malnutrition in africa

According to a July 2025 UN report, more than one in five people in Africa—approximately 307 million—were chronically undernourished in 2024, revealing the scale of how many people in Africa don't have access to food. This critical issue, driven by complex and interconnected factors, continues to worsen despite global progress in other regions.

In 2022, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that a staggering 61% of the population in Africa faced moderate or severe food insecurity. As recent data from various UN agencies shows that more than one in five people on the continent were chronically undernourished in 2024, the question of what percentage of people in Africa do not get enough to eat is more critical than ever.
