The number of people suffering from hunger in the East African countries of Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia has more than doubled compared to last year. United Nations figures indicate that 10.2 million people were hungry in May-June 2021, today there are more than 23 million. The NGOs Oxfam and Save the Children point out in a new report on Wednesday that “national and global responses are largely too slow and limited”. “Hunger is a political failure,” said Gabriela Bucher, CEO of Oxfam International.
