Somalia, Afghanistan and Haiti rank as the hungriest countries in the world, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. In its annual food security report, the FAO unveiled a "depth of hunger" measurement, according to which hungry Somalis, for example, are missing 27% of the minimum calories required to maintain body weight under light activity. The three countries also rank highest in terms of undernourished populations, with Somalia at 75%. A total of 826 million people--nearly 1 in 6 in the world--do not get enough to eat, the report says.
