World Must Unite to Fight Hunger in Syria: RMN Foundation
The 12-year-old conflict in Syria has left nearly 12 million people without adequate food for their survival. As the food scarcity persists, a large number of Syrians are struggling to arrange food for their families while prices of most food items are spiralling in the West Asian country.
As the economic conditions are deteriorating, an estimated 90% of the population is living under extreme poverty and 80% of Syrians are facing food insecurity. According to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), 12 million people in Syria are already affected by the food shortages and another 2.9 million people are at risk of sliding into hunger.
