Topic: 2024-Famine in Conflict Zones
Country: Jordan
Delegate Name: Kaianne Sayen
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has been involved in conflict throughout history. With a high percentage of refugees Jordan has had to deal with food insecurity in conflict areas due to high pressure of resource use there. Morally, we feel this issue is imperative to address. While the food and agriculture organization cannot resolve conflict we must help with food shortages and insecurity internationally with increasing issues in Sudan. Jordan wants to bring aid related to food to areas of conflict through humanitarian aid and effective agricultural practices. Additionally, as a country who relies on food imports, we understand that international cooperation is important for food sources during times of conflict. Jordan understands the importance of separating politics from the need for food security in areas of conflict and wants to develop ways to ensure needs are being met. Jordan recommends that the committee create safe areas for the distribution of food, promote cooperation for food security, and collect new data for effective distribution of food.
