Hormuz Crisis Threatens Global Food Aid
The conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran is causing a man-made disaster for the world's most vulnerable populations, according to senior UN officials.
Shipments of fertilizer and essential grains are unable to reach their destinations, threatening to worsen food insecurity for millions of people in Sudan and Somalia.
The UN is pushing for a humanitarian corridor to allow the free flow of aid through the strategic waterway, but the plan has yet to be approved by the warring factions.
Analysts warn that the disruption to global shipping will have long-lasting consequences for international aid efforts and regional stability.
