Conflict is the number one driver of hunger around the world.

Millions of people in places like Sudan, Gaza and Ukraine have been forced to leave their homes because of war.

When armed conflict arises, hunger almost always follows. Food prices soar. Livelihoods are ruined. Humanitarian aid is blocked.

Families are driven into poverty and struggle to access even the most basic necessities.

You could also provide shelter and psychological support for people fleeing the horrors of armed conflict.
