The 2026 Action Against Hunger report identifies Sudan, Gaza, and South Sudan as the world’s most critical hunger hotspots, where famine conditions are present or imminent. Driven primarily by armed conflict, these regions face catastrophic food shortages, displacement, and destroyed infrastructure.
Other high-risk nations include Haiti, Afghanistan, and Mali, where extreme weather and economic collapse have made basic food unaffordable. In countries like the DRC and Nigeria, over 50 million people face crisis-level hunger. Vulnerable groups, particularly pregnant women and children, suffer disproportionately from acute malnutrition. The report emphasizes that while conflict and climate change fuel these crises, severe humanitarian funding shortfalls are preventing life-saving aid from reaching those in desperate need.
