181 million children under 5 live in severe food poverty, U.N. children's agency says.
Africa 's population of more than 1.3 billion people is one of the most affected mainly due to conflict, climate crises and rising food prices.
The percentage of children living in food poverty in West and Central Africa fell from 42% to 32% over the last decade .
In South Africa , roughly one in every four children is affected by severe food poverty even though it is the continent’s most developed nation.
Governments and partners must act urgently, author Torlesse said: “The work starts now.” The report says inequality also plays a role in food poverty among children in Africa .
