Analysis Summary
The World Food Programme estimates that nearly 45 million more people could fall into acute food insecurity if the Middle East conflict continues through mid-year and oil prices remain above $100 a barrel. About 74% of this burden falls on Africa—17.7 million in East and Southern Africa, 10.4 million in West and Central Africa, and 5.2 million in Middle East and North Africa combined. This projection reflects how the Strait of Hormuz disruptions are spiking fertilizer costs and shipping expenses that hit import-dependent nations hardest.
