The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is seeking $1.9 billion for 2025 to save the lives and livelihoods of some of the world's most food-insecure populations, as acute hunger tightens its grip across the world's major food crises.
With these funds, nearly 49 million people would be able to produce their own food and make their own way out of acute food insecurity.
The announcement was made as part of the United Nations' large-scale humanitarian appeal launched today.
In 2024, escalating violence drove extreme hunger crises in places such as Gaza, the Sudan and Haiti.
