In Madagascar, the United Nations World Food Program warns the climate crisis has pushed over one million people “to the very edge of starvation” as the country has seen a series of severe droughts.

United Nations.- David Beasley, head of the World Food Program, noted Madagascar has not contributed to the global climate disaster yet is suffering some of its most devastating effects.

Tamaria, a mother of four in Madagascar, described how her family has been surviving the drought: “In the morning, I prepare this plate of insects. I clean them up as best as I can, given the near-total absence of water. It’s been eight months that my children and I have been eating this plant every day, and exclusively, because we have nothing else to eat and no rain to allow us to harvest what we have sown.” (RHC)
