Support World Hunger Emergencies:

• CoronaVirus: Impacts of coronavirus could push 36 countries to the most extreme levels of hunger imaginable; a Pandemic on top of a Pandemic. New Data about the novel coronavirus is shocking: Its impact on supply chains, humanitarian access, the global economy, and food supplies threatens to double the number of severely hungry people this year.
• Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC: Decades of war have brought havoc to the DRC, leaving millions dead or displaced. Today they face another killer: CO-VID19. The deadly combination has caused widespread hunger, nearly 13 million Congolese people are severely food insecure.
• Nigeria: Boko Haram has displaced an estimated 1.78 million within the country’s borders—80 percent are women and children. Since fighting first erupted in 2009, the crisis in Northeast Nigeria has become an epicenter of climate change and conflict. Attacks by armed groups and counter-insurgents have forced people from their homes and cut them off from their farms. More than 3 million people were already facing extreme hunger before COVID-19, and now they’re standing directly in the path of the pandemic. Under lockdown, there are long lines for food – with tensions on the rise. Coronavirus cases are already confirmed in the Northeast, making people even more vulnerable. Many will likely not survive without assistance.
• Sahal: A deadly combo of conflict and climate change. The Central Sahel – encompassing Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger – risks being consumed by a lethal mix of escalating armed conflict, the severe impacts of climate change, and now the spread of COVID-19. Families were just barely recovering from the 2018 food crisis, and now the number of internally displaced people has quadrupled to 1.2 million in the last year. On top of that, the coronavirus pandemic will strain the region to the breaking point, as its health systems are some of the weakest in the world.
• South Sudan: More than half of the country lacks access to sufficient food to survive as a result of ongoing violence. More than half of South Sudan’s population – 6.5 million people – will face severe food insecurity at the height of this year’s annual hunger season. The country’s humanitarian situation was dire even before the coronavirus crisis – and a looming invasion of desert locusts. All of this in a country that’s still torn apart by years of conflict and struggling to recover from one of its worst droughts in recent memory. Now, COVID-19 threatens to push millions of families over the edge.
• Syria: After nine years of conflict, nearly 8 million people inside Syria don’t have enough to eat. Since violence first erupted in 2011, the crisis in Syria has become one of the most complicated operations for WFP. More than 6.1 million people are displaced inside the country, many of whom now live in squalid, overcrowded camps. The price of basic commodities has increased 67% since this time last year, and COVID-19 will only worsen the situation. Citizens are in desperate need of food and shelter, and WFP is working around the clock to scale up and save lives.
