Zero hunger goal stalled with one in 11 going hungry last year: UN report


ROME, July 24 (Xinhua) -- The world is not on track to end malnutrition, with 733 million people suffering from hunger last year -- an average of one in every 11, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) warned in a report unveiled on Wednesday.

The 2024 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) -- issued by the FAO and four other UN agencies -- provided latest figures on nutrition and access to food. It said the world is falling significantly short of achieving the UN's "Zero Hunger" goal by 2030.
