A new United Nations report finds that global hunger declines for the third consecutive year in 2025, even as the hunger burden becomes more concentrated in Africa. The reports say Africa emerges as the epicentre of the world’s food crisis, accounting for the highest number of people living with hunger globally. While the overall global trend moves downward, the data indicate that conditions in Africa account for a larger share of the total hungry population than in other regions. The articles do not specify the causes of Africa’s increased share of hunger, nor do they provide detailed country-by-country breakdowns in the excerpts provided. However, both sources emphasize the same central points: the global hunger figure is improving for a third straight year, and Africa simultaneously holds the largest number of hungry people worldwide. The reporting is based on the UN findings referenced in the articles.
