In their report, UN agencies noted a slow but steady decline in global hunger rates compared to previous years. However, recovery is uneven across world regions. The report revealed that while the global cost of a healthy diet recorded a global rise, the number of people able to afford a healthy diet declined in 2025 compared to previous years. In January 2026, the UN warned that millions in Somalia faced hunger and acute food insecurity due to political instability, armed conflicts, and climate change. Additionally, the WFP stated that over a million people in Nigeria faced food insecurity and lacked humanitarian assistance amid funding shortfalls.
