世界粮食计划署（WFP）代理执行主任卡尔·斯科向美国有线电视新闻网表示，伊朗战争带来的连锁效应正威胁着数百万最脆弱人群，使他们面临危机级乃至更严重的饥荒。
霍尔木兹海峡的关闭导致燃料成本飙升，大幅推高了该机构的运营成本。不断上涨的燃料成本同时推高了全球食品价格。而从海湾地区运往苏丹等地用于作物种植的急需化肥供应，也因这条关键航道的堵塞而受阻。
对于本已因大幅削减预算而不得不在令人难以想象的选项中做出抉择的机构来说，这无疑是雪上加霜。
“在许多地区，我们已经不得不在饥饿人群和饥荒人群之间分配资源，”斯科说道。
世界粮食计划署依赖各国政府捐款，其整体捐款额出现了大幅下滑，包括来自最大捐赠国美国的捐款。截至本周一，美国2026年的捐款约为7.31亿美元，而2024年这一数字超过了40亿美元。
斯科解释称，在世界最贫困国家，“当食品价格上涨20%至30%时，民众的口粮就会减少20%至30%。”
今年3月，这家人道主义机构曾发出警告：如果油价维持在每桶100美元以上，到7月将再有4500万人面临严重饥荒风险。斯科如今表示，他们已经开始在斯里兰卡、索马里和阿富汗等地看到这一影响在实地显现。
斯科称，即便霍尔木兹海峡明天就重新开放，其影响仍将在长期持续。
“恢复需要时间，”他在华盛顿特区近期接受CNN采访时表示。
“我们希望这场冲突能够结束，希望海峡明天就能开放。但显然，我们需要富裕国家站出来，努力缓解这场危机对最脆弱人群的冲击，”他说道。
预算削减已经影响了该机构为最有需要人群提供服务的能力。斯科表示，与乌克兰战争或新冠疫情等以往危机不同，此次并未出现捐款增长的情况。
“去年，我们的资金同比下降了40%，”这位前瑞典外交官说道。他于上周随着辛迪·麦凯恩离任后接任该机构代理负责人，自2023年5月起担任世界粮食计划署首席运营官。
即便在伊朗战争爆发前，该机构就已经面临全球范围内日益增长的需求。苏丹有2000万人面临粮食不安全问题；黎巴嫩已有数十万人流离失所；在乌克兰，过去两年中共有20多起事件影响了世界粮食计划署的分发点、仓库、车辆以及合作伙伴的资产和车辆。5月下旬，一枚导弹击中了乌克兰第聂伯罗的一处世界粮食计划署仓库。
不断上涨的成本和预算削减进一步加剧了这些挑战。斯科描述了南苏丹一个面临饥荒的地区，该地区只能通过空运抵达，而空运成本极高。
“如果我们继续维持这条空中补给线，将消耗大量资源，以至于我们无法兼顾该国其他面临紧急粮食不安全问题的地区，”他说道。“这类抉择是我们此前从未真正面临过的。”
斯科表示，在近期访问阿富汗期间，实地工作人员正在努力制定评估标准，以确定世界粮食计划署能够帮助哪些人群。
“我们没有资源帮助该省所有有子女的女性户主家庭。那么我们该怎么办？我们能不能说‘好吧，只帮助有五个以上子女的女性户主家庭？’但这意味着那些有四个子女的家庭将得不到援助，而我们知道这会对他们造成严重影响，”他说道。“在预算削减及其影响方面，我们正在进行这类讨论。”
美国政府仍是世界粮食计划署的最大捐赠国，但在特朗普政府治下，包括世界粮食计划署在内的人道主义援助资金有所减少。
斯科告诉CNN，世界粮食计划署“对美国的捐款表示感谢”，但“我们始终希望进一步扩大援助规模”。
“我们也会就美国可以采取哪些措施推动其他国家增加捐款展开讨论，”他说道。他指出，对抗全球饥饿符合美国的利益，因为“饥饿的世界是一个不稳定的世界”。
“我认为美国民众以及全球各地的人们都达成了共识：儿童不应饿着肚子上床睡觉，儿童不应被饿死，”他说道。
Iran war ripple effects are increasing risks of acute hunger for millions, World Food Programme chief says

Ripple effects from the war in Iran are threatening millions more of the most vulnerable people with crisis levels of hunger or worse, World Food Programme (WFP) acting Executive Director Carl Skau told CNN.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has driven up the cost of fuel exponentially, making the organization’s operations far more costly. The escalating fuel costs have also driven up the price of food around the world. And critically needed supplies of fertilizer from the Gulf to plant crops in places like Sudan have been stymied by the snarling of the critical waterway.
It is a devastating mix for an organization that was already having to make unimaginable choices due to significant cuts in funding.
“In many places, we’re already taking from the hungry to give to the starving,” Skau said.
The WFP relies on donations from governments and has seen an immense drop in funding across the board, including from its top donor, the United States. As of Monday, the US’s 2026 contribution was around $731 million. In 2024, it was more than $4 billion.
Skau explained that in the world’s poorest countries, “when the price of food goes up 20-30%, well, they eat 20-30% less.”
In March, the humanitarian organization warned that 45 million more people will face acute hunger by July if the price of oil remains above $100 a barrel. Now, Skau said they have begun seeing the impact on the ground in places like Sri Lanka, Somalia and Afghanistan.
Even if the Strait of Hormuz were to reopen tomorrow, Skau said, the impact would continue to be felt longer-term.
“It’s going to take time to recover,” he told CNN in a recent interview in Washington, DC.
“We hope this conflict goes away, and that the strait opens tomorrow. But I think it’s clear that we need rich countries to step up and try to mitigate the hit on the most vulnerable from this crisis,” he said.
The cuts in funding have impacted the organization’s ability to serve the most in need. Unlike in past crises, like the war in Ukraine or the Covid pandemic, Skau said there has not been an increase in contributions.
“Last year, it was a 40% drop in funding year on year,” said Skau, a former Swedish diplomat, who became acting head of the organization last week following Cindy McCain’s departure. He has served as chief operating officer of the WFP since May 2023.
Even before the Iran war began, the organization was faced with mounting needs around the world. Sudan has 20 million people who are food insecure; hundreds of thousands have been displaced in Lebanon; in Ukraine, there have been more than 20 incidents over the last two years impacting WFP distribution points, warehouses, vehicles or the assets and vehicles of partners. A missile strike hit a WFP warehouse in Dnipro, Ukraine, in late May.
The rising costs and cuts in funding have only compounded those challenges. Skau described a part of South Sudan that is facing famine, but can only be reached by air, which is very expensive.
“If we continue that air bridge, it burns a lot of resources, to the point we can’t address” other parts of the country facing emergency food insecurity, he said. “Those kinds of choices we haven’t really faced before.”
During a recent visit to Afghanistan, Skau said colleagues on the ground were trying to figure out the metrics of who the WFP would be able to help.
“We don’t have resources to help all the women-headed households with children in this province. So, what do we do? Do we say, ‘Okay, women-headed households with more than five children?’ Well, that means that those with four are not getting assistance, we know that that’s going to have massive impacts on them,” he described. “That’s the kind of conversations we’re having in terms of the cuts and the impact.”
The US government remains the largest donor to the WFP, but under the Trump administration, funding for humanitarian aid, including to the WFP, has dropped.
Skau told CNN that the WFP is “thankful” for the US contribution, but “we always want to push the envelope.”
“We will also have a conversation around what they can do to push others to do more,” he said. He noted that it is in the US interest to fight global hunger, because a “hungry world is an unstable world.”
“I think there is agreement and consensus among Americans and beyond that children should not go to bed hungry. Children should not starve,” he said.
