The 2026 Global Report on Food Crises

The 2026 Global Report on Food Crises finds that 266 million people across 47 countries faced high levels of acute food insecurity in 2025 — with famine confirmed simultaneously in parts of the Gaza Strip and Sudan. Conflict remained the primary driver, affecting over 147 million people, while humanitarian and development financing collapsed to decade-low levels even as needs remained critically high. The report calls urgently for increased political will, scaled-up aid, and sustained investment in evidence-based food security systems to address both immediate crises and their underlying structural causes.
