The WFP says acute malnutrition has almost doubled over the last four months with more than a quarter of people suffering in one area.
WFP executive director, David Beasley in a statement says there have been back-to-back droughts in Madagascar which have pushed communities right to the very edge of starvation.
He added that families are suffering and people are already dying from severe hunger. WFP says $78.6 million was needed to fight the crisis.
