UN warns Russia-Ukraine conflict could cause global food crisis

Members of the international community have been warned that the conflict in Ukraine has added fuel to the fire of global food insecurity.

Food prices have surged since the crisis in Ukraine began and the United Nations fears this could exacerbate the risk of famine around the world.

At a UN Security Council meeting, member states were urged to do more to address the issue of how conflicts impact hunger.
