At least 11 million people (26 per cent of the population) in Kenya were undernourished in the 2011-13 period, compared to 8.4 million (35 per cent) two decades ago, according to a report released yesterday.
Africa remains the region with the highest prevalence of undernourishment, with more than one in five people estimated to be chronically hungry. This means that at least 20 per cent of people in Africa are not getting enough food to lead active and healthy lives.
