UN Warns Iran War Could Put 45 Million More People at Acute Hunger Risk by June

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) projects that if the war in Iran persists until June, an additional 45 million people worldwide could face acute hunger, raising the total to approximately 363 million. This surge in food insecurity stems from disrupted aid routes and rising food costs, especially affecting import-reliant countries like Iran, Lebanon, and Afghanistan. Monitoring the conflict's trajectory and international efforts to resolve it will be critical to mitigating this escalating global food crisis.
