Niger, fame e malnutrizione colpiscono oltre 1 milione e mezzo di bambini

In brief

Hunger and malnutrition affect over one and a half million children in Niger, according to the World Food Programme.

The World Food Programme reports that food insecurity and the climate crisis in the Sahel region are causing drought and desertification to strain crops and food supplies. Geopolitical issues and rising oil prices related to the war in Iran are also contributing to the situation.
