Original Note:
The United Nations itself stated in 1985 that "more than 30 million Africans faced immediate starvation" and in Sudan alone "more than eight million" faced starvation at one point. So 1.1 million is not "the highest number.. anywhere, anytime". https://www.nytimes.com/1985/12/27/world/many-face-death-in-africa-un-says.html
