If these numbers make you uncomfortable, don’t look away. Look closer.
Hunger can become easy to talk about yet difficult to fully grasp.
We need to see the scale to truly understand hunger.
The numbers deserve more than a glance. So, take a moment and swipe through.

A child can grow up two streets from a hospital and still be one of the farthest from care.
Cities look like places of opportunity. Their averages hide the informal settlements, the rented rooms without running water, and the neighbourhoods where public services stop. UNICEF between 350 and 500 million children already live in slums, and that number is set to triple by 2050.
In 2025, our urban teams worked in cities and the settlements growing on their edges. Swipe through to see the scale of that work.
They've learned that models built for villages rarely transfer neatly into dense neighbourhoods where families move often, rent rather than own, and pay for almost everything they need. The programmes that work treat city and municipal leaders, local groups, and businesses as partners. They also depend on staff who understand how a city actually functions, block by block.
Children in cities need systems designed with them in mind.

Cash is not the destination. Local power is.
In his latest op-ed, Isidro Navarro Paya calls for a humanitarian system where communities shape decisions, control resources, and lead responses that affect their children and futures.
The article highlights how the growth of #Cash and Voucher Assistance across the humanitarian sector, including through organisations such as the @WFP has demonstrated that people make sound decisions when trusted with resources. It further reflects the importance of accountability and participation principles championed by @UNOCHA in ensuring decisions are shaped by those most affected by crisis.
Read the op-ed and join the conversation on what genuine localisation looks like in practice.

Imagine working more than four full days just to afford a basic basket of food.
That's the reality highlighted in our 2026 Price Shocks report, which found that workers in the countries analysed would need an average of 34.3 hours of labour to purchase a standard basket of essential foods.
Behind every statistic are families making difficult choices: fewer meals, mounting debt, postponed healthcare, or children leaving school.
In this new article, Paul Kinuthia explores why food affordability is one of the defining challenges facing children today, and what governments, donors, and humanitarian partners can do about it.

Human capital doesno't begin when someone enters the workforce.
It starts in childhood through access to health, nutrition, education, protection and opportunity.
As the World Bank Annual Meetings focus on jobs, growth and economic transformation, one reality should remain orkforce of tomorrow is shaped by the investments we make in children today.
Our future begins with children.

Children experience hunger and food insecurity directly, yet their perspectives are often missing from food systems discussions.
At the World Food Forum 2026, we're calling for children's nutrition, well-being, and voices to be at the heart of every decision.
Meaningful more relevant, effective, and accountable solutions. If food systems are to deliver lasting results, children should be participants, not mere observers, in the decisions that shape their food, nutrition, and future.

Rising Food Costs Are Putting Children’s Future at Risk
• Workers in some countries need weeks of labour to afford a basic food basket.
• Healthy diets remain out of reach for one in three people globally.
• Children are among the hardest hit, with 35.5 million acutely malnourished worldwide in 2025.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - "There are days when my children eat rice with only oil and salt. This is no longer occasional; it has become a daily reality."
For Khin, a mother of eight living in Myanmar's Yangon Region, the food affordability crisis is measured by what she can no longer put on the table. As conflict, economic hardship, and displacement have eroded families' ability to afford food, the money she earns is no longer enough to buy the foods her children once ate regularly, such as chicken or fish. Instead, she looks for the cheapest ingredients she can find.
Khin's story reflects the experience of millions of families around the world highlighted in World Vision's 2026 Price Shocks Report, which finds that food affordability remains a critical challenge for children and families and a clear measure of global inequality.
World Vision's fifth annual food basket survey examined how far families' earnings stretch across 62 countries by comparing the cost of a standard basket of food with average wages. The findings reveal a stark divide in what families can afford.
While workers in high-income countries such as Ireland, the United States, and the United Kingdom can afford a food basket in just over one hour, workers in the least affordable countries require several days or weeks to buy the same basket. In the Central African Republic, it takes almost 30 days of earnings to purchase it.
According to the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) 2026, global hunger has eased for a third consecutive year. However, progress remains uneven, and healthy diets remain unaffordable for around one in three people globally. World Vision's findings show how rising food costs can leave families with fewer choices, forcing them to buy less food, choose cheaper or less nutritious options, take on debt, sell assets, or go hungry.
For children, the consequences can be immediate and long-lasting. In 2025, an estimated 35.5 million children were acutely malnourished worldwide, including nearly 10 million with severe acute malnutrition. Malnutrition can harm children's physical and cognitive development, weaken their immunity and increase their risk of death. These impacts can continue throughout childhood and into adulthood and are not always easily reversed.
Conflict, displacement, economic crises, and climate change can make these pressures even worse by disrupting livelihoods, markets and supply chains, and making nutritious food harder for children and families to access. Across 47 comparable countries, food basket costs increased in 33 countries and decreased in 14, with the average increase far exceeding the average decrease.
The cost of food is more than a measure of prices. When families cannot afford nutritious food, children can pay the highest price through poorer nutrition, lost opportunities to learn, and risks to their health, safety, and future.
Governments, donors, businesses, and international institutions must make food affordability and children’s access to nutritious food a priority. World Vision calls for action to:
• Protect children during shocks through expanded school meals and stronger social protection programmes.
• Invest in resilient local food systems and livelihoods that can withstand future crises.
• Address the conflict, climate, and economic pressures that continue to keep nutritious food out of reach for millions of children and families.
• Ensure people and communities affected by conflict and displacement can access timely, nutritious food assistance, while supporting pathways towards longer-term food security.

At the #SchoolMealsCoalition Ministerial Meeting, organised by the @SchoolMeals_ Coalition Secretariat led by the @WFP, we're advocating for school meals that protect children's nutrition, learning and future opportunities.
Our #PriceShocks5 report findings show rising food hy diets further out of reach. Strong advocacy means connecting children's realities to policies, budgets and accountability.
Because advocacy succeeds when it closes the distance between a global promise and a child's plate.

As the World Bank Annual Meetings convene in Bangkok, much of the conversation will focus on jobs, productivity, digital transformation and economic growth.
But one issue sits underneath all of them.
The future of East Asia's workforce is already being shaped by climate pressures, migration and demographic change. Yet policy debates often treat these as separate challenges rather than part of the same human capital story.
If children and young people are moving across borders, facing disrupted education, or struggling to access basic services, what does that mean for the region's long-term economic trajectory?
The most important question may not be how many jobs economies create, but whether development investments are building the capabilities and resilience future workers will need.
As discussions on IDA21 implementation and IDA22 priorities advance, how should the World Bank measure success in building the workforce of tomorrow?

World Vision is deeply concerned following the Ministry of Health's confirmation of Kenya's first imported case of Ebola (Bundibugyo) virus disease. Preventing further transmission is now critical.
@WorldVisionKE is strengthening infection prevention measures and working with rotect children and communities.
Containing Ebola requires equipped health workers, accurate information to counter fear and stigma, and strong regional cooperation.
Children must remain at the centre of the response. World Vision stands ready to work with governments and partners to prevent further transmission and keep communities safe.

In Lebanon this week with partners from @UNICEF and @Refugees, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, our, Disaster Management, Global Lead, Isabel Gomes, met local community members, including, children, teachers, responders and community leaders affected by conflict. Children’s needs still remain urgent, and lasting recovery depends on strong partnerships, local leadership, and sustained support. Together, we must keep protection, wellbeing and hope at the centre of our efforts. #Lebanon #ChildrenFirst #HumanitarianAction
For children and families affected by conflict in #Lebanon, protection and essential services cannot wait.
Many continue to face displacement, disrupted services and protection risks.
During a joint inter-agency mission, senior global emergency representatives from UNICEF, banon met with affected families and engaged with Government and local authorities, humanitarian partners, NGOs and donors to hear first-hand about needs and challenges on the ground.
The mission looked at increasing needs, humanitarian access constraints, coordination, and how reduced funding is affecting partners’ ability to sustain essential services and emergency response capacity.
The message was clear: sustained and coordinated action is critical to protect children and families, maintain essential services and strengthen preparedness.

Now that UNGA81 is over, the most important work is only just beginning.
Global gatherings play a vital role in building consensus, shaping priorities, and reinforcing a sense of shared responsibility for the challenges ahead.
Their lasting impact, however, is determined long after the final speeches and meetings conclude.
The months ahead offer an opportunity to translate commitments into meaningful progress, strengthen confidence in international cooperation, and demonstrate the value of collective action where it matters most.
The measure of success will not simply be what was agreed in New York, but how effectively those ambitions are carried forward.
What outcomes would you most like to see achieved before leaders return for the next General Assembly?
