What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Global Hunger Index report showed worsening food insecurity in Pakistan and Bangladesh, with Pakistan recording the worst performance in South Asia. The findings indicate that hunger reduction across South Asia has largely stalled since 2018, with Pakistan’s undernourishment indicator worsening from a low to a medium level. The overall Global Hunger Index score for South Asia stands at 23.5, placing the region in the serious category.
