Global Hunger Index 2026: Rankings, Scores & Country Data

Note: This 2026 Global Hunger Index report supersedes all former GHI results. As always, rankings and index scores from this year cannot be accurately compared to rankings and index scores from previous reports. The 2000, 2006, 2012, 2018, and 2026 scores and indicator data contained within this table and the 2026 report are currently the only data that can be used for valid comparisons of the GHI over time (see Methodology).

Note: For the 2026 GHI report, data were assessed for 136 countries. Out of these, there were sufficient data to calculate 2026 GHI scores for and rank 122 countries (by way of comparison, 123 countries were ranked in the 2025 report).

* For 14 countries, individual scores could not be calculated and ranks could not be determined owing to lack of data. Where possible, these countries were provisionally designated by severity: 1 as low, 1 as moderate, 2 as serious and 4 as alarming. For 6 countries, provisional designations could not be established (see Provisional Hunger Severity Designations).

— = Data are not available or not presented. Some countries did not exist in their present borders in the given year or reference period.

1 Ranked according to 2026 GHI scores. Countries that have identical 2026 scores are given the same ranking (for example, Argentina, Azerbaijan, and Brazil are all ranked 27th).

2 The 24 countries with 2026 GHI scores of less than 5 are not assigned individual ranks, but rather are collectively ranked 1-24. Differences between their scores are minimal.
