Around the world, 673 million people still go to bed hungry every night today, and many more face daily uncertainty about their next meal, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Thursday.
In his message on World Food Day, which is observed annually on Oct. 16, Guterres said that 80 years ago, countries came together to defeat hunger, and in the decades since, the world has made dramatic advances. “Yet recent crises demonstrate that we cannot drop our guard if we are to sustain these gains,” he said.
