World growing hungrier, says UN
BBC 11/25/03 The United Nations food agency has warned that world hunger is rising again, despite international efforts to reduce poverty. The number of undernourished people is climbing by 5 million a year, it says. The agency warns that the UN goal of halving world hunger by 2015 is looking increasingly remote. The FAO report, entitled "The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2003", calls the latest figures a "setback in the war against hunger". It says that according to the most recent available figures from 1999 to 2001, there are 842 million chronically hungry people in the world.
