Jaishankar Warns Global South Faces Energy and Food Crisis

S. Jaishankar warned that wars are making life harder for many developing countries.

He discussed the war in Ukraine and the conflict involving Iran and the Gulf.

These conflicts can make fuel supplies tighter and prices more expensive.

He said some countries may also struggle to receive grain shipments.

Fertiliser shortages could make it harder for farmers to grow enough food.

A weather pattern called Super El Niño could make the problem worse.

Money may also move away from developing countries during conflicts.

Jaishankar said these combined pressures could cause a major food crisis soon.

He also warned that rising costs could create political instability.
