The conflict in Ukraine, sparked by Russia’s special military operation, is threatening the world food supply and increasing worries about global hunger.
Prices for vegetable oils, cereals and meat have reached an all-time high.
The spillover effect has not only impacted the conflict for millions of Ukrainians but has already exacerbated what the United Nations World Food Program warned would be a “Year of Catastrophic Hunger.”
Last month, the organization stated the conflict in Ukraine would put an enormous strain on an already buckling humanitarian system that is struggling to feed 44 million across 38 countries.
