India-Pak nuclear clash may trigger global starvation: Study

More than a billion people around the world could face starvation if a nuclear war breaks out between India and Pakistan, according to a new report which said the "nuclear famine" will be an "unprecedented" disaster that would bring an end to modern civilisation. The report released by International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) said a nuclear "confrontation" between the South Asian neighbours, even if it is restricted to the region, would cause major worldwide climate disruption driving down food production in China, the US and other nations.
