Sub-Saharan African countries are among the highest in rates of hunger. This is due to factors such as poverty, conflict, and climate change, which affect food production and access to food in these regions. Countries with large populations like China have made significant strides in reducing hunger through government policies and economic development. The statement about island nations is not necessarily true for all island nations and there are several factors that influence hunger rates. The Middle East does not have the highest concentration of hunger.
