Hurricane-ravaged Haiti has ‘alarming’ levels of hunger and malnutrition (The Guardian)

May 04, 2026


The Guardian wrote a story about the 2016 Global Hunger Index that examined Haiti’s “alarming” hunger levels. According the article, “more than half the 10 million population of the Caribbean country were undernourished before Matthew struck but the report suggests that little or no progress has been made in eradicating hunger there in the past 15 years.”

The 2016 GHI found that though hunger levels in developing countries have fallen almost 30 percent since 2000, more than 45 countries including India, Pakistan, Haiti, Yemen, and Afghanistan will still have “moderate” to “alarming” hunger scores by the United Nations deadline to end hunger by 2030.
