Acute hunger could reach 8 million children in six African countries as El Niño looms.
According to a new analysis by Save the Children, about 8 million children across East and Southern Africa could face acute hunger by early 2027, a rise of 30 percent. The projected increase is linked to one of the strongest El Niño weather events in recent years, which is fuelling a growing food crisis.
