In other news, the United Nations has warned that over 40 million people are currently
00:05
facing hunger at emergency levels in West and Central Africa.
00:09
According to a new report by the UN agency World Food Programme, those figures represent
00:14
a 70 percent increase on such cases.
00:16
The agency warns that food insecurity will affect almost one in ten people in West and
00:20
Central Africa by 2025, a situation they blame on conflicts, displacements, economic instability
00:26
and severe climate issues.
00:28
The report also says hunger emergency levels in the region can be addressed with better
00:32
planning and preparedness for timely, flexible and predictable funding to reach crisis-affected
00:37
people, with life-saving assistance to reduce humanitarian emergencies.
