More than 15 million Colombians suffer moderate or severe food insecurity, equivalent to almost a third of the population, due to poverty, unemployment and the Andean country's long-running conflict, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) said on Thursday.
The WFP carried out investigations in Colombia between June and November last year, finding that 13.4 million people face moderate food insecurity, while 2.1 million face severe food insecurity.
