Organizations Providing Food Relief in Ukraine (Food Tank)

March 07, 2022


Food Tank reported in an article that in the coming days and weeks, the U.N is preparing for 3 million more refugees to cross the country’s border. And as violence continues, humanitarian experts fear that the crisis will exacerbate food insecurity in Ukraine and around the world. In a show of support for Ukraine, anti-hunger nonprofits and other relief organizations are mobilizing to feed those impacted by the invasion. Global food prices were already on the rise due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a recent IFPRI report (see the blog post, How will Russia’s invasion of Ukraine affect global food security?) finds that the invasion may push inflation rates even higher, leading to worsening rates of food insecurity in low-income countries reliant on food imports.
