Note: This 2023 Global Hunger Index report supersedes all former GHI results. As always, rankings and index scores from this table cannot be accurately compared to rankings and index scores from previous reports. The 2000, 2008, and 2015 scores and indicator data contained within this table and the 2023 report are currently the only data that can be used for valid comparisons of the GHI over time (see Methodology).

For the 2023 GHI report, data were assessed for 136 countries. Out of these, there were sufficient data to calculate 2023 GHI scores for and rank 125 countries (by way of comparison, 121 countries were ranked in the 2022 report).
* For 11 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, and 3 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 The 20 countries with 2023 GHI scores of less than 5 are not assigned individual ranks, but rather are collectively ranked 1-20. Differences between their scores are minimal.
