2024 Global Report on Food Crises

The population facing high levels of acute food insecurity rose from 61.9 million or 24 percent of the analysed population in 2023. These increasing numbers are driven by the escalation in conflict and concomitant humanitarian disaster in the Sudan, outpacing notable improvements in Kenya and Somalia.

Ethiopia and Uganda have more people with high levels of acute food insecurity in 2024 than 2023, while South Sudan has slightly fewer due to favorable 2023/24 harvests. However, the number of people in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) in South Sudan was projected to double.

The Sudan has the region’s largest number of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity, followed by Ethiopia and South Sudan. South Sudan and the Sudan have the highest prevalence with well over half their total populations in need of urgent food and livelihood assistance.
