According to the 2020 Global Hunger Index, an estimated 690 million people are undernourished.

Hunger takes a particularly large toll on children 🧒: 144 million of which suffer from stunting due to chronic undernutrition and 47 million of which suffer from wasting due to acute undernutrition. The highest levels of hunger and undernutrition can be found in Africa South of the Sahara and South Asia 🌍 🌏.
