UN secretary general António Guterres
When war is waged, people go hungry
60% of the undernourished people live in conflict areas
2021
800 million undernourished people
140 million people suffering acute hunger
Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria and Yemen
Now
44 million people in 38 countries,
at emergency levels of hunger
shortages of grain and fertiliser caused by the war,
warming temperatures,
pandemic-driven supply problems threaten to,
tip tens of millions of people over the edge into food insecurity
Followed by, malnutrition, mass hunger and famine, in a crisis that could last for years
The complex security, economic and financial implications require goodwill on all sides for a package deal to be reached
Let’s be clear: there is no effective solution to the food crisis without reintegrating Ukraine’s food production
Russia must permit the safe and secure export of grain stored in Ukrainian ports
Russian food and fertilisers must have full and unrestricted access to world markets
WFP head David Beasley, US secretary of state Antony Blinken
The world is on fire. We have solutions. We need to act
and we need to act now
greatest global food security crisis of our time
Energy prices, effects fertiliser, farm equipment
António Guterres
There is enough food for everyone in the world
but the issue is about distribution
In our world of plenty,
I will never accept the death from hunger of a single child, woman or man
Neither should the members of this Council.
