Press releases and statements

The UK's contribution to tackling malnutrition at the summit fell far short of expectations.

Action Against Hunger UK joined organisations in an open letter calling on world leaders to fully fund a $41 billion humanitarian hunger response to prevent famine globally and address the emergencies fuelling global hunger: conflict, the climate crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic.

More than two out of three British parents believe that climate change poses a threat to their children’s future.

What can £1 on your restaurant bill cover? Olives? A bread roll? Or a day's worth of live-saving therapeutic food to treat a severely malnourished child.

Action Against Hunger is mounting a response to the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit southern Haiti on Saturday 14 August 2021 and Tropical Storm Grace, which followed.

Save the Children and Action Against Hunger urge the UK to reverse these cuts without delay.

The UK Government has cut aid to Syria, which recently marked ten years of conflict, by almost a third.

Communities are still in need of urgent humanitarian assistance a decade on from the start of the conflict in the country.

A wave of violence has broken out across the Central African Republic following disputed elections on 27 December 2020.

Action Against Hunger today warned that the global restrictions of movement in response to Covid-19 risks the lives of millions of children who are already experiencing food crises as a result of poverty, climate change and conflict. With parents no longer able to work and with little or no welfare system to fall back on, the humanitarian organisation fears millions of children are being put at risk as a result of the measures.

The Global humanitarian organisation Action Against Hunger today warned that refugee camps and informal settlements present the perfect breeding ground for Covid-19 and that an outbreak would overwhelm already limited healthcare infrastructure.

Only 30% of humanitarian needs are currently funded in Cameroon, where the security and nutritional situation continues to deteriorate in the far north of the country. Action Against Hunger teams are calling on donors to further commit to the humanitarian response in the country.
