Afghanistan Drops to 116th in Global Hunger Ranking Amid Deepening Humanitarian Crisis

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN – Afghanistan has fallen to 116th out of 127 countries in this year’s Global Hunger Index, signaling the worsening humanitarian crisis.

The country scored 30.8, down from last year’s rank of 114 and a score of 30.6. This decline reflects the deepening food insecurity gripping Afghanistan since the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021.
