3. Somalia 

Composite Ranking: 3

Global Hunger Index 2022 Score: 45.5 

Humanitarian Aid in 2021: $2.395 billion 

Somalia also has political instability and terrorism, which make acute food shortages quite recurrent. Frequent droughts in the Horn of Africa region further strain local agriculture and push many into hunger. Moreover, in Somalia, 1.5 million under-5 children (45% of the country’s children) are projected to face acute malnutrition in 2022.
