UN Agencies Warn of Famine Risk for Millions, Appeal for Funding

UN Agencies Warn of Famine Risk for Millions, Appeal for Funding

Imagine many families around the world don't have enough food to eat, and some might not have any food at all, which is called famine.

Two big helpers, called the UN agencies WFP and FAO, are saying that this is happening in many countries like Sudan and Gaza.

They used to get a lot of help (money) from different countries to buy food for these families.

But now, some big countries are giving less money, like the United States.

Because there's less money, the helpers can't buy enough food for everyone.

So, they are asking all the countries to send more money very quickly.

They say that if we don't send enough money, millions of people could starve.

They believe that making sure everyone has enough food helps make the world a more peaceful and stable place.
