1. Hunger

• About 795 million people in the world – or one in nine – are undernourished.

• Most of the people suffering from hunger in the world live in developing countries, where 12.9% of the population is undernourished.

• Asia is the continent with the highest number of people suffering from hunger: two-thirds of the total population. In recent years, the percentage has decreased in South Asia, but has slightly increased in Western Asia.

• The greatest problems of undernutrition are found in South Asia, with nearly 281 million undernourished people. In sub-Saharan Africa, projections for the period 2014-2016 indicate an undernutrition rate of nearly 23%.

• Malnutrition causes almost half (45%) of deaths in children under five: 3.1 million children each year.

• Worldwide, one in four children suffers from stunted growth. In developing countries, the proportion can rise to 1 in 3.
