In Somalia, drought and conflict mean increased hunger is preying on the youngest.
A short snapshot of some of the humanitarian crises where needs are rising include: The ICRC is appealing for 2.8 billion Swiss francs to fund its work in 2023. For example, in 2022, ICRC’s market price monitoring saw food staples rise by 45% in Ethiopia and Yemen and over 30% in Mali, Afghanistan and Somalia. Nowhere are the impacts of rising food and energy prices felt harder than communities impacted by armed conflict and violence. The international armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine has wreaked havoc on global food and energy prices. The global community must ensure that no conflict is left behind, or we risk many crises fading into obscurity at great cost to human life. The civilian suffering caused by these conflicts, combined with a worsening climate emergency and rising food and energy prices, will make 2023 a year of vast humanitarian need.
