ROME - A RECORD one billion people are undernourished around the world, the UN food agency said Friday, blaming the global financial crisis for a surge of more than 100 million hungry since last year.
Deploring 'the biggest ever year-on-year increase' in world hunger, Jacques Diouf, the head of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), told a news conference: 'One in six human beings does not have access to food.'
