The year 2020 saw a dramatic worsening of world hunger, which affected an estimated 720 million to 811 million people, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization said in a statement on Monday. The warning came with the launch of "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021". The report, drafted by the FAO in cooperation with other four UN agencies, urged the global community to act swiftly to help the world get back on track to reach Goal 2 of the Sustainable Development Agenda, which is to end hunger and malnutrition by 2030.

Last year, global hunger grew in both absolute and proportional terms, outpacing the population growth.
去年，全球饑餓的絕對人數(shù)和比例都在增長，速度超過了人口增長。

"Some 9.9 percent of all people are estimated to have been undernourished last year, up from 8.4 percent in 2019," the report said.
