About 735 million people worldwide faced chronic hunger in 2022, a figure much higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic, the United Nations (UN) said on Wednesday. An estimated 122 million more people were hungry in 2022 than in 2019. The world is "far off track" to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goal of ending hunger by 2030, the organisation added.
