The Business Guardian
|May 19, 2025
High levels of food insecurity have persisted in Pakistan from November 2024 to March 2025, Food and Agriculture Organization stated in its latest report, with 11 million people projected to face insecurity, Dawn reported on Sunday.
Referring to the 2025 Global Report on Food Crises published by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations on Friday, Dawn reported that 11 million people or 22 per cent of the analysed population are projected to face acute food insecurity in 68 flood-affected rural districts across Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This includes 1.7 million people in emergency. The population coverage increased by 38 per cent between the 2024 peak and 2025 current analysis, from 36.7 million people to 50.8 million people, with 25 additional districts, making the 2024 peak and the projection for 2025 not comparable, Dawn cited the report.
