Monrovia – The 2017 Global Hunger Index (GHI) report recently revealed that hunger severity in Liberia is alarming and attention is needed. Global hunger levels have fallen more than a quarter ( 27%) since 2000, but more recent rising hunger scores of several countries in this year’s Global Hunger Index (GHI) underline how uneven this progress has been and how precarious it is to maintain. The report revealed that eight out of 119 countries assessed across the world suffer from either extremely alarming or alarming levels of hunger. The report mentioned that global hunger level remains high, with great differences not only among countries but also within countries. It is a comprehensive tool designed to measure and track global hunger levels.
