The US-Israeli war on Iran is pushing millions of people into acute hunger. The Middle East crisis is having broader effects by raising food and fuel prices and disrupting trade. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has driven up the cost of fuel exponentially. Energy prices and food prices are closely linked in many places, and in poorer countries, people already spend most of their money on food, so when prices rise, they are forced to eat less. Critical fertilizer supplies to countries like Sudan remain blocked. According to GDELT, the World Food Programme predicted that by the end of June, 45 million more people could face food insecurity, and the WFP acting Executive Director Carl Skau said this prediction still stands. The WFP reported that an extra 2.5 million people in Somalia, 2.3 million in Afghanistan, and 1.3 million in Sri Lanka are now struggling to meet basic food needs. US funding for the World Food Program has dropped from more than $4 billion in 2024 to around $731 million this year. The Middle East war could push tens of millions more people into acute hunger if drawn out.
