Abstract: As we write, thousands of children suffer from hunger and starvation, especially in areas ravaged by military aggression such as Gaza and Ukraine and civil and political strife such as Afghanistan and Somalia. Also, while subjective hunger might be assuaged for others living in relative peace, over 150 million children continue to live on food that is simply not up to par with global nutritional standards. Some of these children may not be hungry but they remain ‘food poor’. It is important to underscore that the world has not just transitioned from one category to another; hunger has not been eliminated and lives on in pockets across the world. Hunger has served as an important rallying cry for human rights advocates for decades, and it continues to deserve immediate attention.
