Action Against Hunger urges G7 members to push for a ceasefire in Gaza and increased humanitarian funding and access in Ukraine

At the closing of the G7 Ministerial meeting on Foreign Affairs, Action Against Hunger welcomes the G7 State members’ commitment to address food insecurity and malnutrition. We recall that reaching the SDG 2 Zero Hunger objective requires urgent measures to address the structural causes of hunger – armed conflicts, climate change, poverty and inequalities. We call for G7 members to commit to both short-term humanitarian action in emergencies, including in ‘forgotten crises’, and to a long-term transformation of food systems to become more sustainable, resilient and fair by investing in an agroecological approach.

Ahmad, a 48-year-old married man and father of six from northern Syria, lived a life deeply rooted in agriculture and livestock keeping. However, the tranquility of his hometown was shattered when the security situation escalated due to the crisis, forcing Ahmad and his family to flee to another governorate. They returned when calm was restored, only to find their home looted. Action Against Hunger, funded by the European Union, provided Ahmad and 49 other livestock keepers with rainwater harvesting units. Each unit consisted of three 2,000-litre water tanks per household, collecting rainwater to provide clean water for their livestock.
