El Niño Threatens Millions With Hunger, Intensified Heat
The World Food Programme (WFP) and UN forecasters warn that a strong El Niño could push an additional 49 to 50 million people into acute hunger. These worsening conditions are anticipated in 45 countries already facing severe food insecurity. Scientists also suggest that El Niño, combined with global warming, could contribute to making future years, potentially 2026, the hottest on record. Agencies are urged to prepare for these potential impacts.
