In addition to the historic reasons mentioned in the other comments, there’s places facing famine right now that aren’t getting much help and several more countries where we should be preparing for mobilization and aren’t.

Source for that image is the World Food Program’s early warning report: https://docs.wfp.org/api/documents/WFP-0000153539/download/

I learned the other day that Madagascar had a famine in 2021??? I had no idea.
