Hunger Rate: 0.88

Over six million children under five—roughly 43 percent of this age group—are affected by the acute malnutrition issue in DRC, making it stand among the most malnourished countries in the world. The issue is made worse by elements like armed conflict, poverty, and restricted access to healthcare. Acute food insecurity affects over 27 million individuals. Pregnant and nursing women are also at risk, as are children under five.
