Food insecurity worsened globally in 2023, with nearly 282 million people suffering acute hunger due to conflicts, particularly in Gaza and Sudan, UN agencies and development groups said Wednesday.

Extreme weather events and economic shocks also added to the number of people who went hungry, which grew by 24 million from 2022, according to the latest global report on food crises from the Food Security Information Network (FSIN), which called the outlook “bleak” for the current year.
