On any given day, the World Food Programme (WFP) coordinates an average of 6,500 trucks, 140 aircraft, 20 ships and a network of 850 warehouses delivering assistance to people living in the most food insecure and inaccessible corners of the world.
This figure represents a four-million increase in the number of people who are food-insecure compared to the November 2023 forecast and highlights a fourfold increase over the last five years. The situation is particularly worrying in conflict-affected northern Mali, where an estimated 2,600 people are likely to experience catastrophic hunger (IPC/CH phase 5).
