The war in Iran could push an additional 45 million people into acute hunger in just three months, causing record levels of global food insecurity, according to a new analysis from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).
The analysis found that if the conflict continues to the middle of the year and oil prices remain above $100 per barrel, an estimated 363 million people would be food insecure — 45 million higher than the current 318 million people.
