Note: This 2024 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 2016 scores and indicator data contained within this table and the 2024 report are currently the only data that can be used for valid comparisons of the GHI over time (see Methodology).

For the 2024 GHI report, data were assessed for 136 countries. Out of these, there were sufficient data to calculate 2024 GHI scores for and rank 127 countries (by way of comparison, 125 countries were ranked in the 2023 report).
* For 9 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 serious and 2 as alarming. For 6 countries, provisional designations could not be established (see Provisional Hunger Severity Designations).
