While the economic crisis has impacted numerous sectors across Sri Lanka, nutrition security has been particularly affected.

According to recent UN data, 6.3 million people have been rendered food insecure, meaning that they cannot access a nutritious diet on a daily basis.

The World Food Programme (WFP) in the country is working towards solutions to the current food crisis.

UN News’s Anshu Sharma spoke to WFP’s Country Director, Abdur Rahim Siddiqui, and started by asking him about the economic impacts on people’s lives.
