  1. and suggested solutions A UN report warns: the collapse of currencies against the dollar and inflation threaten Arab food security 2023.03.25 - 15:04 Baghdad - people A report by the World Food Program warned that the Middle East and North Africa region is facing a worsening "food security crisis" with the advent of Ramadan, citing a group of reasons, most notably the high rates of food inflation and the collapse of local currencies against the US dollar. The UN report predicted that this situation would affect millions of people across the region, particularly those living in countries already facing conflict and instability. Facts and figures The report said that inflation in many countries had reached "dangerous levels" in light of stifling budget deficits and high levels of public debt. According to the World Food Programme, Lebanon topped the list of food commodity price inflation in the region, reaching 138 percent, followed by Syria at 105 percent. In Iran, Turkey and Egypt, the annual food price inflation rate has exceeded 61 percent, making it difficult for families to afford basic foodstuffs such as bread, rice and vegetables, according to the report. He pointed out that most of the countries in the region depend on food imports due to insufficient local production, which exposes its population to the risk of fluctuations in global prices, which were negatively affected by the war in Ukraine, as well as supply chain disruptions and natural disasters. The program confirmed that global food prices are still at their highest levels in 10 years despite a slight decline in recent months, noting that “these fluctuations will not affect food price inflation locally in countries facing a toxic combination of declining currency prices and high inflation.” ". Other factors Program data during February shows that four countries in the region are on the WFP's 15-country currency watch list, including Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Iran, where currencies have depreciated between 45 and 71 percent over the past 12 months alone. . The report revealed that the number of food-insecure people in the region has increased by 20 percent over the past three years, reaching more than 41 million. According to the report, food production has decreased in the Middle East and North Africa region due to conflicts and the worsening climate crisis that casts a shadow over the region. In Iraq and Syria, for example, prolonged drought and the effects of conflicts have led to a reduction in cultivated areas and a decrease in food production. Suggested solutions The UN report recommended that Arab governments, international organizations and donor countries adopt practical measures to address the issue of food security throughout the region, foremost of which is increasing funding for humanitarian aid and supporting local farmers to enhance food production and address the underlying causes of conflicts and instability in the region, stressing the need to address " root causes of food insecurity" while addressing immediate needs. The World Food Program confirmed that it intends to provide support to about 35 million people in the Middle East and North Africa in 2023, through food aid and work to increase the resilience of the most vulnerable groups in the face of regional and global shocks, according to the report.

"catastrophic hunger" The report continued: "Syria, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti and the Sahel region remain countries of grave concern." In the report, the World Food Program and the FAO warned that "the conflict in Ukraine is exacerbating what is already a year of catastrophic hunger... unleashing the ensuing wave of hunger spreading throughout the world, turning a series of terrible hunger crises into one." A global food that the world cannot afford.” The report included Sri Lanka, West African coastal states (Benin, Guinea and Cape Verde), Ukraine and Zimbabwe to the rest of the hotspot countries: Angola, Lebanon, Madagascar and Mozambique. In addition to conflict, climate shocks will continue to cause acute hunger in the forecast period from June to September 2022, as the world enters a new normal, in which recurrent droughts, floods and hurricanes decimate agriculture, increasing displacement and pushing millions to the brink. in these countries." Food insecurity The United Nations announced on the twenty-first of last month that up to 18 million people in the African Sahel face severe food insecurity during the next three months. Jens Larkey, a spokesman for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), issued the warning at a UN press conference on the Sahel region, which stretches across the northern parts of Africa from west to east. Larkey said 7.7 million children under the age of five are expected to suffer from malnutrition in the Sahel. He added that about 1.8 million people are severely malnourished, warning: "If aid operations are not scaled up, this number could reach 2.4 million by the end of the year." "Arabi"
