"We now have hunger galloping ahead - over a billion people now for the first time in history - and because of the financial pressure on governments we think it's really important now to call on the citizens of the world to help solve this problem directly," Sheeran told the Reuters news agency in an interview. Sheeran noted the rise in the number of hungry people was partially due to increasing prices in the developing world following a food crisis in 2007-08. The WFP's resources are stretched due to many crises worldwide, such as violence in Pakistan, drought in eastern Africa, and flooding in Southeast Asia. The organisation can thus provide only limited assistance to those in need.
