Medhin Gereziher, 1, is treated for malnutrition at the Ayder Referral Hospital in Mekele, in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022. Babies are dying in their first month of life at four times the rate they did before the war in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, according to a yet-unpublished study shared by its authors with The Associated Press.

Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom from Want” painting depicts one of the most peaceful scenes in American life as a family gathers around a holiday dinner table to give thanks, eat, talk, laugh and share in an abundance of blessings. While this great American tradition will play out in the coming weeks, a hunger catastrophe is unfolding around the world, putting even the simplest of meals out of reach for a growing number of individuals and families around the world. 

Right now, nearly one-third of the world is food insecure with over 828 million people going to bed hungry each night. 149 million children experience stunted growth and development due to a chronic lack of essential nutrients. As many as 50 million people in 45 countries are at immediate risk of famine. And more than 45 million children suffer from acute malnutrition, or wasting, a devastating condition where a child’s body is so starved of nutrients it begins to consume itself. These numbers are staggering, and behind every one of them is a real person.
