A new report released Thursday by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) found that 181 million children worldwide under the age of five — or one in four — live in severe food poverty.
Food poverty, the report defines, is the state of consuming either nothing or up to two out of eight food groups recognized by the agency. The report itself spotlights approximately 100 low- and middle-income countries. Of the 181 million affected children, 64 million reside in South Asia and 59 million reside in Sub-Saharan Africa.
