This year millions will be struggling to buy even the most basic foods for their families as the conflict in Ukraine has pushed food prices even higher than the troubling levels at the start of the year<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins, the soaring cost of food staples in import-dependent Middle Eastern and North African countries is creating ever greater challenges for millions of families already struggling to keep hunger at bay, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP<\/a>) said today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally a month of festivities, when families gather over traditional foods to break their day-long fast, this year millions will be struggling to buy even the most basic foods for their families as the conflict in Ukraine has pushed food prices even higher than the troubling levels at the start of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are extremely concerned about the millions of people in this region who are already struggling to access enough food because of a toxic combination of conflict, climate change and the economic aftermath of Covid-19,\u201d said Corinne Fleischer, WFP Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa. \u201cPeople\u2019s resilience is at a breaking point. This crisis is creating shock waves in the food markets that touch every home in this region. No one is spared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knock-on effect of the Ukraine crisis is adding further strain to the import-dependent region. The prices of wheat flour and vegetable oil \u2013 two key staples in the diet of most families \u2013 have consequently risen across the region. Cooking oil is up 36 percent in Yemen and 39 percent in Syria. Wheat flour is up 47 percent in Lebanon, 15 percent in Libya and 14 percent in Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WFP facing an additional cost of US$71 million per month for global operations compared to 2019 \u2013 a 50% rise<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Even prior to the conflict in Ukraine, inflation and increasing prices were putting basic food items beyond the reach of the most vulnerable. Food prices reached an all-time high in February 2022, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization\u2019s Food Price Index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of a basic food basket \u2013 the minimum food needs per family per month \u2013 registered an annual increase of 351 percent in Lebanon, the highest in the region. It was followed by Syria, with a 97 percent rise, and Yemen with 81 percent hike. The three countries, all reliant on food imports, also reported sharp currency depreciation. Meanwhile, a drought in Syria has also impacted the country\u2019s annual wheat production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With global prices rising, WFP\u2019s meagre resources for operations in the region, especially in Yemen and Syria, will be under even more pressure than before. In both countries, conflict and the related economic shrinkage have left more than 29 million people in need of food assistance. WFP is supporting nearly 19 million people in the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The global food price hikes and the Ukraine conflict have resulted in WFP facing an additional cost of US$71 million per month for global operations compared to 2019 \u2013 a 50% rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Ukraine crisis makes a bad funding situation worse. There are immediate humanitarian needs that demand attention. Donors have in recent years helped us provide food to millions in the region. Now the situation is critical and it\u2019s time to be even more generous,\u201d added Fleischer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WFP currently has only 24 percent of the funding it needs in Syria and 31 percent of what it needs in Yemen. Due to funding constraints, WFP has already been forced to reduce food rations in both countries. Further reductions risk pushing people towards starvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
