The war in Iran has bad effects. Many sea routes are closed. The Strait of Hormuz is very important. Many ships with oil and fertilizer pass there. Now ships are stuck there. Ships with food for poor people are also stuck. The World Food Programme of the United Nations is worried.
Soon 363 million people might suffer from hunger. This is a very high number. The prices for energy and food rise fast. Many people cannot buy bread anymore. Farmers also have problems. They need fertilizer for their fields. Without fertilizer, less grain grows. This leads to more hunger in the future.
There are also new fights. Israel attacked targets in the south of Lebanon. 9 people died there. The USA and Iran talk about peace. But there is no agreement yet. Iran threatens the USA with attacks on their ships. The situation remains dangerous. It takes a long time until ships sail normally again.
