On April 29th, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the Intergovernmental Organization for Development in East Africa released a report on April 28th local time, stating that the number of food insecure people in East and Central Africa increased to 73 million in April. The report points out that due to long-term conflicts and insecurity, this number has increased from 69.2 million in February. The report analysis points out that long-term conflicts and insecurity are the main driving factors of food insecurity, which hinder humanitarian aid, disrupt supply chains, impede local agricultural production and market access, and force people to be displaced, ultimately leading to food shortages.
