In the current edition of a regular joint bi-yearly report, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) warn that acute food insecurity is projected to worsen in 16 hunger hotspots, including a total of 14 countries and two regional clusters which comprise 8 countries, during the outlook period from November 2024 to May 2025.The Sudan, Palestine, South Sudan, Haiti and Mali remain hotspots at the highest concern level, while Chad, Lebanon, Myanmar, Mozambique, Nigeria, the Syrian Arab Republic and Yemen are classified as hotspots of very high concern. Since the May 2024 edition, Kenya, Lesotho, Namibia and the Niger have been added to the hunger hotspots list, while Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Malawi, Somalia, Zambia and Zimbabwe remain designated as hunger hotspots.Immediate and scaled-up assistance is crucial in all 16 hunger hotspots to protect livelihoods and improve access to food. This report outlines country-specific recommendations for urgent emergency responses, as well as anticipatory actions to meet existing humanitarian needs and implement short-term protective interventions before new crises emerge.The report focuses on the most severe and deteriorating acute hunger situations, but it does not represent all countries/territories experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity.
