On 2 April 2019 Thomson Reuters Foundation reported: War, extreme weather, and economic woes in 2018 left more than 113 million in dire need of help. Food crises will affect tens of millions of people across the world this year, researchers warned on Tuesday (2 April). Conflict and insecurity were responsible for the desperate situation faced by 74 million people, or two-thirds of those affected, in 2018, said the the Global Network against Food Crises in its annual report. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern world peace and science systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.

Analyzing 53 countries, it uses a five-phase scale with the third level classified as crisis, fourth as emergency, and fifth as famine/catastrophe.

Luca Russo, FAO's senior food crises analyst, warned that millions more are now at risk of reaching level three and above.

'The 113 million is what we call the tip of the iceberg. If you look at the numbers further down, you have people who are not food insecure but they are on the verge,' Russo told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

The study excluded 13 countries and territories including North Korea, Venezuela, and Western Sahara due to a lack of recently validated data.
