In 2022, war in Ukraine made refugees of millions, disrupted crop exports, and sent food and fuel prices soaring in many parts of the world. This, combined with the lingering impacts of COVID-19, extreme weather conditions, and ongoing unrest in many countries, left millions of people globally on the verge of famine. Despite such dire circumstances, World Vision photographers witnessed many moments of joy and strength in communities where we work around the world. Here are 22 of our favorites.

Real families are experiencing real hunger
Displaced children are forced to weigh the odds of which life-threatening situation they will be subjected to. Sometimes the risk of going out to find food is too dangerous, but the risk of suffering malnutrition is just as worrying.
“I don’t eat every day because my mother has no money.”
59% of people in Afghanistan are in need of humanitarian assistance, and up to 97% of the country is at risk of falling below the poverty line.
“If you were starving and you knew that selling one of your kids could prevent the others from dying, would you do it?”
76% of Venezuela's population lives in poverty. When Danfred's grandmother nearly died from COVID-19, he considered begging in the streets for food.
“Sometimes we did not have any food, other times we asked other families to give us some food.“
“The world is experiencing its worst hunger crisis of modern time. There are 50 million worldwide on the brink of starvation, and half of those are children.”
—Edgar Sandoval Sr., president and CEO of World Vision U.S.
