Hunger skyrockets by nearly 80 percent in Eastern and Southern Africa over past five years amidst worsening water crisis. Fati N’Zi-Hassane, Oxfam in Africa Director said:
“The climate crisis is not a mere statistic—it has a human face. It affects real people whose livelihoods are being destroyed, while the main contributors to this crisis—big polluters and super-rich—continue to profit. Meanwhile, national governments neglect to support the very communities they should protect.”
