A new report from the United Nations（联合国）says one in eight people around the world does not have enough food. The U.N. reports that 842 million people suffer from very serious hunger. This is about 12% of the world population. It has gone down. It was 17% in 1992. The U.N. says many countries still cannot find ways to feed their people. Africa is the region with the highest number of people who don’t have enough food. The U.N. says that one in five Africans is hungry. In over 19 African nations, more than a quarter of the population goes hungry. The U.N. said 98% of the world's hungry people live in developing countries. 

The World Food Program(WFP世界粮农组织) said hunger is now the largest risk to people's health around the world. It is a more serious problem than AIDS, malaria（疟疾）and tuberculosis（肺结核）. One of the biggest reasons for people being hungry is war. The U.N. said developing countries that have experienced war in the past 20 years have bigger problems feeding their people. Scientists say this situation could get worse because of climate change. Hotter temperatures in more countries will mean farmers cannot grow enough food, leading to more hunger.
