Middle East and Africa have ‘highest levels of food insecurity’ – The National

The Middle East and Africa have some of the highest levels of food insecurity in the world, according to a new global report.

Findings from the Global Food Security Q2 2022 report by Deep Knowledge Analytics, showed that Yemen and Syria are in the midst of food crises fuelled by war.

On top of the conflict, climate change and water shortages are affecting Algeria, Iraq, and Yemen too, limiting the availability of resources needed for food production and development of agriculture.
