Experts have sounded the alarm that if ports around Odessa remain closed, shortages of grain, oil and other goods will trigger famine and migration crises the world over.
Almost 24 million people in Afghanistan, or 60% of the population, suffer from acute hunger and 8.7 million face famine, says the World Food Programme.
Severe hunger persists in South Sudan and the World Food Programme says it is expected to worsen if assistance is not scaled up. The WFP has three planes operating airdrops in the country to supply aid to people that are difficult to access, like those who have sought refuge from conflict in the swampy land of the Sudd.
The World Food Programme prepares aid for starving Syrians in a government-held besieged Syrian town of Madaya, where more than two dozen people have reportedly starved to death, an aid official said.
