There are countless countries suffering from hunger issues. Some a lot more than others. Starvation, famine, food insecurity, poverty and so many other things. There are countries we haven't even heard of, but their fate is so much worse than ours. The hunger issues of a country are determined by Global Hunger Index (GHI) score. The GHI score is calculated by averaging the percentage of the population that is undernourished, the percentage of children younger than 5 years old who are underweight, and the percentage of children dying before the age of 5. Countries with extremely alarming hunger issues have a GHI of over 30 and those between 20 to 30 come under alarming hunger problems.
Here is a list of 10 countries of the world that starving to death based on the GHI:
1. Haiti (Global Hunger Index: 23)
Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Not only is there underdevelopment but natural disasters and political issues have made Haiti worse. 55 % of the people are below poverty line. With around 3/4th population of the country living on less than USD 2 per day, the malnutrition rate of children between 1 to 5 years is 22.9%.
2. Zambia (Global Hunger Index: 23.2)
Politically, the nation is probably more stable than others on this list. But when it comes to poverty, Zambia is facing major issues. As Zambia is not economically powerful, despite the government's efforts, malnutrition is chronically present in many children and most of them are surviving on one or two meals per day.
3. Yemen (Global Health Index: 23.4)
Yemen is facing huge famine issues. Around 41% of Yemen's population is not secure when it comes to food and malnutrition rates are one of the highest in the world. To make things worse, not only is the country facing food insecurity & high food prices, but also civil conflict, large-scale displacement, endemic poverty and influx of refugees and migrants.
4. Ethiopia (Global Health Index: 24.4)
Even though Ethiopia has impressively improved its economic condition, there are more issues to deal with like political & civil unrest, low literacy rates, high poverty and the most alarming fact of all, that Ethiopia has suffered from famine for almost 3 decades now. Malnutrition and starvation go hand-in-hand here.
