UN agencies say double-digit inflation and stagnating local production are major drivers of the hunger crisis.

In a joint statement on Friday, the World Food Programme (WFP), the UN children’s agency UNICEF, and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said that the number facing hunger during the June-August lean season had quadrupled over the last five years. It said economic challenges such as double-digit inflation and stagnating local production had become major drivers of the crisis, beyond recurrent conflicts in the region. And it noted that Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Mali would be among the worst affected. The UN agencies said the prices of major staple grains had continued to rise across the region from 10 percent to more than 100 percent compared with the five-year average. The situation was particularly worrying in northern Mali, where some 2,600 people are likely to experience catastrophic hunger, it added. “The time to act is now. We need all partners to step up … to prevent the situation from getting out of control,” said Margot Vandervelden, WFP’s acting regional director for West Africa. “We need to invest more in resilience-building and longer-term solutions for the future of West Africa,” she added. Malnourished children Food shortages have also resulted in “alarmingly high” levels of malnutrition, with children badly affected. The agencies said eight out of 10 children aged between six and 23 months do not consume the minimum amount of food required for optimal growth and development. It also said some 16.7 million children under the age of five are acutely malnourished and more than two out of three households are unable to afford healthy diets. “For children in the region to reach their full potential, we need to ensure that each girl and boy receives good nutrition and care, lives in a healthy and safe environment, and is given the right learning opportunities,” said UNICEF Regional Director Gilles Fagninou. “To make a lasting difference in children’s lives, we need to consider the situation of the child as a whole and strengthen education, health, water and sanitation, food, and social protection systems,” he added. The region’s heavy dependence on food imports has tightened the squeeze, particularly for countries battling high inflation such as Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. Policies should be introduced to boost and diversify local food production “to respond to the unprecedented food and nutrition insecurity”, said Robert Guei, the FAO’s Sub-regional Coordinator for West Africa. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/12/nearly-55-million-face-hunger-in-west-and-central-africa-un-warns

Photograph: Zoubeir Souissi/Reuters Most people would consider running a marathon the pinnacle of fitness – but not Russ Cook. The endurance athlete has just completed a 9,940-mile (16,000km) run along the entire length of Africa. While Cook told reporters that he was a “little bit tired” and in need of a strawberry daiquiri after completing his odyssey, scientists who spoke to the Guardian suggested the road to recovery could be rockier than he anticipates. There will be some positive impacts on his health, such as increased cardiorespiratory fitness, more efficient delivery of oxygen to the muscles and better energy efficiency. But Dr Dan Gordon, an associate professor in cardiorespiratory exercise physiology at Anglia Ruskin University, warned that Cook could also expect an amplified version of what regular marathon runners experience up to 120 hours post-race: extreme tiredness, muscle soreness, joint aches and potential skin sores from sweating and clothes rubbing. He added that given the heat during Cook’s run, acute kidney issues were likely due to dehydration. Cook’s immune system will also be weakened as although some exercise gives it a boost, too much with insufficient recovery increases the risk of catching colds and flu. “As he recovers, this immune suppression will dissipate, but it is a relatively slow process,” Gordon said. The best form of recovery will be to stay active, with cycling and swimming, both good lower-impact forms of exercise, as well as stretching his muscles and sports therapy to recover the range of motion in areas not used in running that will have declined to compensate, Gordon said. Whether such ultra runs are a good idea was primarily a “philosophical question”, he said. “The human machine can do remarkable things and is also incredibly resilient. We know that as long as the pace per day is not excessive, this is achievable.” He suggested the psychological impact could be most severe, including the comedown from the exhilaration and adrenaline in the first 24-48 hours after finishing the race, and the psychological strain of a lonely experience. Martin Turner, a sports psychologist at Manchester Metropolitan University, said Cook would benefit from psychological support to help him process the traumatic aspects of the experience, such as being robbed at gunpoint, and to help him set healthy new goals, such as using his expertise to help others. “Humans have a tendency to hit highs and believe ‘OK, now I’m satisfied,’ but that’s not what humans are like, we’re always looking for the next thing,” he said. “We’re naturally predisposed to setting goals and pursuing them. My question would be: is he looking for something else? Potentially he’ll try to do more and bigger.” He said the key signs that fixating on exercise goals is becoming a problem were exercising through pain, injury and illness – as was the case for Cook. Indeed, many elite athletes struggle to set realistic exercise goals, he noted, and exhibit emotionally unhealthy behaviours, such as feeling frustrated when they can’t train “because you don’t want to do anything else”. Cook’s “hardest geezer” moniker could also suggest he may have wrapped his identity and sense of self up too closely with running, which Turner said could create a dependency on training. “It’s OK wanting to do things, ‘I want to push myself, meet these goals’, but when you spill over into ‘I have to do it, I have to succeed’, that’s quite unhealthy pressure. You suffer and sacrifice a lot.” Dan Lieberman, a Harvard professor and author of Exercised, said that although humans had evolved to run long distances, “we never evolved to run marathons, ultramarathons, or even insanely crazy distances like the length of Africa”. He said it “always raises concerns” when people pushed the human body way beyond what we evolved to do, though because there are so few examples of this, there is limited data around serious long-term consequences. One recent research paper looked at the hearts of runners who ran a marathon a day across the UK and only found evidence of damage in two smokers. Most casual runners need not fear. Lieberman added: “We have a lot of data on how running is a phenomenal form of vigorous physical activity that has lifelong benefits. And the good news is you don’t have to run marathons to get the full benefits.” https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/apr/08/hardest-geezer-russ-cook-africa-run-recovery

Palestinian UN envoy Riyad Mansour urges Security Council to ‘elevate itself to implementing the global consensus on the two-state solution’. Palestinian Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour speaks with the media after a meeting of the Security Council to vote on a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip [File: Andrew Kelly/Reuters] The United Nations Security Council president has referred the Palestinian Authority’s (PA’s) application for Palestine to become a full member of the world body to its membership committee. The 15-member committee is expected to make a decision about Palestine’s status this month, said Vanessa Frazier, Malta’s UN ambassador, who also proposed that the committee meet on Monday to consider the application. Malta is president of the Security Council for April. Palestinian UN envoy Riyad Mansour told reporters in New York that the PA sincerely hoped that after 12 years as an observer state at the UN, the Security Council would “elevate itself to implementing the global consensus on the two-state solution by admitting the state of Palestine for full membership”. Last week, the PA formally asked for renewed consideration by the Security Council of its 2011 application to become a full member of the world body. The Palestinians are a non-member observer state at the UN, the same status as the Holy See. Reporting from UN headquarters in New York, Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo said the PA’s membership bid was “moving forward” and highlighted that this is a significant and symbolic moment for Palestine. “This is only the second time that Palestine has been able to get this far in their bid for full UN membership. The last time was 2011 when it essentially failed in the Security Council standing committee due to a threat by the US to veto it if it ever came to a vote,” he noted. He added that for any country to become a full member of the UN, the international body’s charter says the country’s membership first has to be approved by the Security Council and then it would need to get the support of two-thirds of the 190 members of the UN General Assembly. “It is believed that Palestine has the support in the General Assembly. That is pretty much widely accepted. The issue is in the Security Council, … where any of the five permanent members could veto it, and this would then stop the process,” Elizondo said. Security Council approval requires at least nine votes in favour and no vetoes by the United States, Russia, China, France or Britain. Earlier on Monday, the Security Council met behind closed doors to discuss the letter from the PA. Mansour told Reuters last week that the aim was for the council to make a decision at an April 18 ministerial meeting on the Middle East. Israel’s UN ambassador, Gilad Erdan, said recognition of a Palestinian state would be a threat to Israel’s national security. “Granting the Palestinian statehood is not only a blatant violation of the UN Charter, it also violates the fundamental principle that everyone can understand of reaching a solution, a lasting solution, at the negotiating table,” Erdan told reporters on Monday. “The UN has been sabotaging peace in the Middle East for years, but today marks the beginning of the point of no return,” he said. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/8/un-security-council-refers-palestines-full-membership-bid-to-committee
