ELZUBI @Asharq TV – Hunger Risks and the Gulf Crisis
Which countries face the greatest risks from this crisis? Families in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Sri Lanka are among the most severely affected.
• Somalia: 6.5 million people (nearly one third of the population) face severe hunger.
• Afghanistan: 17.4 million people are impacted by the crisis, including 2.3 million suffering from acute food insecurity.

ELZUBI@ Al‑Arabi TV and the Impact of Conflict on Food Security

The conflict in the Middle East has disrupted major shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz, driving transport and fuel costs sharply higher.
This has directly translated into global food price increases, with the number of people suffering from acute food insecurity reaching 45 million.

ELZUBI @ Al Jazeera and the Collapse of Agriculture in Gaza

This is a total collapse, not a partial decline. It represents a systematic targeting of the food system, not incidental damage.
The ceasefire has opened a narrow and time bound window for recovery that must be seized immediately.

ELZUBI @Al-Mamlaka and Food Prices

Relative stability in the overall index, with clear divergence among commodity groups:
• Cereals and sugar on an upward trend,
• Vegetable oils and dairy on a downward trend,
• Meat remains nearly stable.
Driving factors: weather, energy and fertilizer costs, demand for ethanol, and competition among exporters.
