During the post-harvest season of 2024, more than 40 million individuals in West and Central Africa are having difficulty feeding themselves.
According to a statement issued by the United Nations World Food Programme on Friday, the figure is expected to increase to 52.7 million by the middle of 2025, with 3.4 million of those individuals experiencing emergency levels of hunger (IPC/CH Phase 4).
According to the World Organisation’s new Cadre Harmonisé food security analysis, which was published this month, food insecurity is getting worse even though there has been a slight decrease in the number of people who are severely food insecure compared to the previous year. This could be attributed to better security and above-average rainfall in some Sahelian regions.
