Of the Asia Pacific LDCs listed in the GHI for 2010, Yemen has the most disturbing score of 27.3, due to high scores on all three indicators. Using the GHI criteria, for example, a cut-off point might be 10, which would include 16 countries in the Asia Pacific region.4 However, this neglects many other countries not covered by the GHI. Another option would be to consider as hotspots countries where undernourishment was greater than 10 per cent.
