The State of Hunger in the Philippines

Climate shocks, economic inequality, and conflict drive hunger in the Philippines. An archipelago of over 7,600 islands, this South Asian country is highly vulnerable to frequent natural disasters, such as typhoons and earthquakes. For several decades, conflict on the island of Mindanao has caused widespread displacement and humanitarian needs.
