On October 14, German Development Minister Reem Alabali Radovan commented on the 2026 Global Hunger Index presented by Deutsche Welthungerhilfe. She said hunger was rising worldwide again after declining for many years.
Radovan said Sudan was experiencing the world’s largest hunger crisis and half of Yemen’s population was going hungry. Thousands of children in the Gaza Strip remain at risk of malnutrition, she added.
The minister said hunger often results from wars and conflicts, but is also a problem that can be solved. She described tackling hunger and poverty as central to her work and a prerequisite for global stability and sustainable development.
