"Hunger is a global problem, and it isn't limited to any one country or part of the globe," Andrew Morely, the president of World Vision International, said in a statement.Among respondents who said their children went to sleep hungry, 46% cited inflation and the cost of living as the main reason. The next two most common reasons cited were low household income and not enough government focus on ending hunger .
