What Happened
The United Nations warned that ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran threatens to push over 30 million people into poverty. Disruptions to fuel and fertilizer supplies through the Strait of Hormuz have already reduced agricultural productivity globally. Food insecurity will peak in months, with countries including India, Bangladesh, Egypt, and Kenya at highest risk, UNDP administrator Alexander De Croo stated.
