Some 258 million people needed emergency food aid last year due to conflict, economic shocks and climate disasters, up from 193 million the previous year, the Global Report on Food Crises 2023 said Wednesday.

The report, released by The Global Network Against Food Crises (GNAFC), an international alliance set up by the UN and the EU, finds that acute food insecurity continues to rise, while the ripple effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict are increasingly becoming a major driver of hunger, particularly in the world's poorest countries.
