On #WorldRefugeeDay , there are more refugees in the world than ever before. Displacement in Gaza, Sudan, and Ukraine drive millions to hunger. In mid-2023, 110 million people worldwide were displaced, and 43.3 million of them --- or 40% --- were children under 18. By now, that number has risen even higher. Action Against Hunger works closely with refugees to help them rebuild their lives. Many of our staff members are refugees themselves. Every day, we work to prevent and treat malnutrition, provide mental health services, improve access to water and sanitation, and support displaced people, wherever they end up. As conflict in Gaza, Sudan, and Ukraine rages on, our teams face the displacement crisis head-on. Action Against Hunger HEARO https://bit.ly/3xgpLpD

A hotter world means a food-insecure world. In places like Guatemala and Honduras, Action Against Hunger is working towards climate-smart future. “Action Against Hunger is calling on the global community to ‘pay the climate debt’ by implementing justice and making sure every community has equal and fair access to climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, through publicly sourcing climate finance in the form of grants that don’t add to countries’ unsustainable debt," said Alvin Munyasia, Action Against Hunger’s Advocacy and Communication Specialist. #COP29

It doesn’t take us long to get angry when we don’t get our food, so when are we going to get angry for the 733 million people in the world that don’t have enough to eat? A child dies from hunger every 15 seconds and at Action Against Hunger, we’re furious about that. And we’re asking you to get angry with us. Every day we are predicting, preventing, and treating hunger and malnutrition around the world. We’ve been global leaders at providing life-saving food, tools, skills and know-how for 45 years. Help us build a world where not a single person dies from hunger.
