"The swiftly evolving El Niño weather phenomenon is expected to drive approximately 50 million individuals into severe hunger by the close of next year," the publication states.
The paper highlights that, aside from this issue, "hundreds of millions of individuals are presently at great risk of starvation because of prolonged drought in certain areas of Africa and rising food prices prompted by the conflict with Iran."
El Niño's effect will raise the number of individuals lacking reliable food sources by over 20%.
An analysis by the UN World Food Programme indicates that Central and South America, the Caribbean, and southern Africa will probably suffer the most. Lower rainfall is anticipated in South and Southeast Asia, creating substantial challenges for agriculture.
El Niño is marked by higher sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. This occurrence usually delivers rainfall to southern South America, the southern United States, the Somali Peninsula, and Central Asia. In the meantime, El Niño causes drought in northern South America, the Caribbean, Australia, Indonesia, and South Asia. This event takes place every 2-7 years and persists for about 9-12 months.
