INFORMATION
Sustainable Development Goal 2 aims to create a world free of hunger by 2030. In 2020, between 720 million and 811 million people around the world are at risk of hunger, an increase of nearly 161 million from 2019. Also, in 2020, a staggering 2.4 billion people, or more than 30 percent of the world’s population, were moderately or severely food insecure and did not have regular access to adequate food. In one year, this figure has increased to almost 320 million people.
Globally, 149.2 million children under 5 years of age, or 22.0 percent, were stunted in 2020, down from 24.4 percent in 2015. Between 2014 and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people experiencing hunger and food insecurity has steadily increased. The COVID-19 crisis has further increased growth rates and also exacerbated all forms of malnutrition, especially among children. The war in Ukraine is further disrupting global food supply chains and creating the largest global food crisis since World War II. Source: https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/hunger/
Starvation is a severe lack of energy below the level needed to maintain the body. This is the most extreme form of malnutrition. Prolonged starvation can damage vital organs and eventually lead to death. The term malnutrition describes the symptoms and consequences of starvation. In addition, starvation can be used as a means of torture or death sentence.
Without any food, a person usually dies within 2 months. But the fact that one person survived 382 days without food surprised everyone. Lean people can usually survive until they lose up to 18 percent of their body mass. 20% of people who are obese are likely to suffer from this condition. It has been found that women live longer than men in a state of starvation.
