Children Are In Danger In Many Countries Due To A Food Shortage

The video discusses the severe food crisis in Eastern Africa, highlighting the risk of child wasting and the urgent need for intervention. Global inflation has increased the cost of food aid, limiting the ability to purchase necessary supplies. The war in Ukraine has disrupted grain exports, exacerbating food insecurity. Additionally, the displacement of Ukrainian children due to the conflict is a major concern.
