World Vision is working in 19 countries where people are suffering unimaginable levels of hunger, to save lives. This document looks at the needs around the world as well as World Vision's Global Hunger Initiative designed to reach 15 million people who face life-threatening starvation. Key messages This is a children’s crisis: Almost 21 million children are one step away from famine and face starvation.

Humanitarian funding and access to those who are starving is vital if lives are to be saved.

Sanctions, port closures and disrupted production and supplies are driving up food, energy...
