Save the Children is providing critical support in countries where extreme hunger threatens to claim thousands of children’s lives and futures. Our work aims to save lives and prevent widespread hunger in the short-term, whilst also implementing long-term solutions and more resilient systems that better manage the risk of future crises.

Children can’t be children if they are hungry. The worst global food crisis in decades is putting millions of children’s lives on the line. Rising conflict, displacement, climate shocks, and food prices, coupled with the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, are driving a massive food crisis across multiple countries around the globe, threatening millions of children’s lives.

Today, there are an estimated 12 million children struggling with hunger in America. While nearly every state has pockets of great disadvantage, these states struggle with child hunger the most:

-Food scarcity is highest in Louisiana, where 25% of families with children struggle with hunger
-In Arkansas, 23% of families with children struggle with hunger
-Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma and Washington, D.C. all report a 22% rate of family hunger
-In Maryland, Hispanic and Black families are almost 4 times as likely to face hunger as white families
-Hispanic families are similarly disadvantaged in New York, where 38% do not have enough food, compared to 11% of white families

Since March 2020, food insecurity rates across the nation for families with children have risen by nearly two-thirds. More than 1 in 5 rural children are estimated to experience food insecurity, a projected increase higher than pre-pandemic levels. Black and Hispanic children have been disproportionately impacted — they are twice as likely as white children to face hunger in America.

Impact on children
- In food crises like this, children are always the most vulnerable
- Malnutrition remains one of the biggest killers of children under five around the world today
- By the end of 2022, it is feared the number of acutely malnourished children could increase by another 13.6 million to 59 million.
- Not only are children’s lives at grave risk in this crisis, but so are their futures.
- Women and girls are particularly vulnerable in this crisis. They account for up to 70% of the world’s hungry and when food is scarce, they are often the ones to eat last and eat least.
