In 2008, WFP faced a particularly difficult set of challenges, provoked by dramatically rising food and fuel prices and aggravated by widespread turmoil in international financial systems. Steady progress towards reducing global hunger not only ground to a halt but began to slide in the opposite direction. The number of undernourished people in the world increased in 2008 to 963 million, a leap of 115 million over the past two years.
