 ANAMBRA POLICE ACTION ON THE CULT CLASH THAT RESULTED IN THE FATAL INJURY OF FOUR PERSONS AT AFOR NAWFIA MARKET The Anambra State Police Command wishes to provide a comprehensive update on the cult-related attack that occurred on the evening of 7th December 2025 at Afor Nawfia Market, along the Onitsha–Awka Old Road. It will be recalled that operatives of the Command attached to the Special Anti-Cult Squad, Enugwu-Ukwu, had, four days earlier, acting on credible intelligence about a planned rival cult confrontation, arrested two dangerous suspects and recovered a firearm from them.

INDIA HAS BEEN RANKED 105TH OUT OF 127 COUNTRIES IN THE 2024 GLOBAL HUNGER INDEX. (PHOTO).


 India has been ranked 105th out of 127 countries in the 2024 Global Hunger Index (GHI), placing it in the “serious” category for hunger. The report, published by Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe, tracks hunger and undernutrition across the globe. India scored 27.3 on the index, highlighting major challenges related to hunger, malnutrition, and child mortality in the country.


The GHI score is based on four key indicators: undernourishment, child stunting, child wasting, and child mortality. In India, 13.7% of the population does not get enough calories, while 35.5% of children under five suffer from stunted growth due to chronic malnutrition. Additionally, 18.7% of children under five have low weight for their height, a sign of acute malnutrition. Furthermore, 2.9% of children in India die before the age of five.


India’s ranking is lower than some of its neighbors in South Asia, such as Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, which fall into the “moderate” hunger category. Pakistan and Afghanistan, however, are also in the “serious” category alongside India. This highlights the urgent need for India to step up efforts in fighting hunger and improving nutrition.


With the United Nations’ goal of achieving Zero Hunger by 2030 becoming harder to reach, India will need to address the root causes of hunger, improve food security, and ensure better nutrition for its population, particularly for children. The ongoing global food crisis, driven by conflicts and climate change, makes these challenges even more pressing.
