According to UNICEF, hunger will not be limited to just four countries. When violence and hunger force people to exile and cross borders, the rate of malnutrition will continue to spread to neighboring countries. And there is not much time left to prevent bad things from happening. Of the 22 million children facing famine, about 1.4 million are at risk of death. The crisis mentioned above is mainly man-made, UNICEF said. Conflict between parties has destroyed trees, crops, and infrastructure such as medical facilities. The fighting also forced farmers to abandon their fields, while humanitarian access to people in many areas was limited. When families leave their homes, their children have no access to health and nutrition services, clean water, and sanitation - putting them at high risk of malnutrition. So we must join hands to protect people and children from hunger.
