The drought has reached severe proportions in southern Madagascar. Neighbors have to face such adverse conditions that they have been dragging on for years. A series of droughts have already caused famines in southern Madagascar. According to the World Food Program (WFP), the situation has gotten so bad that people in the region are now starving.
The World Food Program (WFP) published a report on the UN website last Friday. He said that more than half of the population of southern Madagascar was affected by famine. The number of people affected by the famine is approximately 1.5 million. Most of these family members are now forced to eat insects to satisfy their hunger.
According to the World Food Program, a survey was conducted in the middle of this year to determine the number of people affected. But now it has almost tripled. Women and children are in dire straits due to lack of food.
According to the WFP report, the physical growth rate of children in Madagascar is very low. About half of the nation’s children under the age of five are malnourished, the agency said.
Thomson Firi, a spokesman for the World Food Program in Geneva, said the famine situation was getting worse. As a result, the situation of families is getting worse, they are in crisis. Most of them eat insects. They sell the necessities of life for money.
