A UN report says the number of people suffering from hunger has increased during the past three years, after years of decline.
According to the analysis, eight hundred and 21 million people globally were undernourished in 2017 representing about one person in every nine and nearly one hundred and 51 million under the age of five.
The authors say extreme climate events are partly to blame for the rise and call for urgent global action.
The report dubbed,” The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World”, also says difficulties accessing nutritious food is contributing to the growing problem of obesity in the world.
