急性糧食不安全和兒童營養不良連續第六年升起

2024年連續第六年，急性糧食不安全和兒童營養不良增加，推動了超過2.95億人

Geneva, May 16 Acute food insecurity and child malnutrition rose for the sixth consecutive year in 2024, pushing more than 295 million people across 53 countries to the brink, according to a joint report by UN agencies released on Friday.

日內瓦，5月16日，急性糧食不安全和兒童營養不良連續第六年增加了，根據周五發布的聯合國機構的共同報告，將53個國家 /地區的2.95億多人推向了邊緣。

This is an increase of 13.7 million from 2023, said the report, blaming conflict, economic shocks, climate extremes, and forced displacement for the global rise in food insecurity and malnutrition.

該報告說，這是從2023年提高的1370萬，該報告稱，歸咎於衝突，經濟衝擊，極端氣候和強迫流離失所，糧食不安全和營養不良。

It showed that the prevalence of acute food insecurity is worsening -- standing at 22.6 per cent of the population. 2024 marks the fifth consecutive year in which the figure has remained above 20 per cent.

這表明急性糧食不安全的患病率正在惡化 - 佔人口的22.6％。 2024年是該數字連續第五年保持在20％以上。

During the same period, the number of people facing catastrophic hunger more than doubled to reach 1.9 million -- the highest since tracking began in 2016, the report said, adding that hunger shocks will likely persist into 2025.

該報告稱，在同一時期，面對災難性飢餓的人數增加了一倍以上，達到190萬，這是自2016年開始以來最高的人數。

“This Global Report on Food Crises is another unflinching indictment of a world dangerously off course,” said United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.

聯合國秘書長安東尼奧·古特雷斯（AntónioGuterres）說：“這份全球糧食危機報告是對世界危險的局面的另一個堅定起訴。”

“Long-standing crises are now being compounded by another, more recent one: the dramatic reduction in lifesaving humanitarian funding to respond to these needs. This is more than a failure of systems -- it is a failure of humanity. Hunger in the 21st century is indefensible. We cannot respond to empty stomachs with empty hands and turned backs,” he added.

“長期以來，長期存在的危機正被另一個較新的危機加劇：救生人道主義資金的急劇減少以響應這些需求。這不僅僅是系統的失敗 - 這是人類的失敗。21世紀的飢餓是無法辯護的。我們無法空虛地回應空的胃，轉過身來，回過頭來。”他補充說。

Further, the report cited “extremely high levels” of malnutrition, particularly among children in the Gaza Strip, Mali, Sudan, and Yemen. Nearly 38 million children under five were acutely malnourished across 26 nutrition crises.

此外，該報告引用了營養不良的“極高水平”，特別是在加沙地帶，馬里，蘇丹和也門的兒童中。在26個營養危機中，近5名以下的兒童急劇營養不良。

The report also highlights a sharp increase in hunger driven by forced displacement, with nearly 95 million forcibly displaced people, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), asylum seekers, and refugees, living in countries facing food crises such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia, Sudan, and Syria out of a global total of 128 million forcibly displaced people.

該報告還強調了被強迫流離失所的飢餓急劇增加，近9500萬人流離失所者，包括國內流離失所者（IDPS），尋求庇護者和難民，生活在剛果，哥倫比亞民主共和國，哥倫比亞，蘇丹，蘇丹和敘利亞等全球範圍內的糧食危機中，佔地12800萬。

Acute food insecurity and malnutrition have increased to record levels, yet global funding is experiencing its fastest decline in years, and political momentum is weakening.

急性糧食不安全和營養不良已提高到創紀錄的水平，但是全球資金在幾年中的下降速度最快，而政治勢頭也在減弱。

The report called for a bold reset -- one that prioritises evidence-driven and impact-focused action -- to break the cycle of rising hunger and malnutrition.

該報告要求進行大膽的重置 - 優先考慮證據驅動和以影響力的行動，以打破飢餓和營養不良的循環。
