Top 10 hungriest countries in the world in 2025 list: The Global Hunger Index 2025 shows that a number of nations still fall into the categories of ‘alarming’ or ‘serious’ hunger, with scores ranging from 31 to 42.6.
Global Hunger Index 2025: Even in 2025, when technology and agriculture have advanced like never before, hunger remains one of the world’s most persistent challenges. According to the latest Global Hunger Index 2025, about one in every 10 people across the planet still do not get enough to eat. That is nearly 673 million people living with chronic hunger—a heartbreaking reminder that progress in food production does not always mean equal access to food.Several factors continue to fuel this crisis—poverty, war, economic instability, climate change, and weak governance. In many parts of Africa and Asia, these challenges combine to create severe food shortages. Countries affected by conflict, droughts, and displacement often struggle the most, as people lose not only access to food but also the means to grow or buy it.
The Global Hunger Index 2025 shows that a number of nations still fall into the categories of “alarming” or “serious” hunger, with scores ranging from 31 to 42.6. Among the most affected are Somalia, South Sudan, Madagascar, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Haiti, which continue to face devastating hunger levels due to ongoing crises.
In Somalia, decades of conflict, recurring droughts, and mass displacement have left millions struggling to find food and clean water. Weak infrastructure and repeated natural disasters make farming and food delivery extremely difficult. As a result, Somalia remains one of the hardest-hit countries in the world when it comes to hunger.
South Sudan follows closely behind. The nation continues to battle widespread food insecurity caused by flooding, violence, and civil unrest. Broken supply chains and damaged roads make it nearly impossible for people in rural areas to access markets or food aid. With a Global Hunger Index score of 37.5, South Sudan ranks among the top countries facing severe hunger, and millions depend on humanitarian assistance to survive.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) shares the same score of 37.5. Despite the country being rich in natural resources and having fertile land, DRC’s long history of violence, poor infrastructure, and underdeveloped rural areas have created a deep food crisis. Farmers often abandon their land due to conflict, and trade routes remain unsafe, cutting off food supplies for large parts of the population.
Several other countries in Africa and Asia also record distressing hunger levels. Ongoing wars, forced displacement, and unstable economies continue to trap people in cycles of poverty and food insecurity.
