Arabic term or phrase: للانكشاف الغذائي
و يقدر ارتفاع الأسعار العالمية للمواد الغذائية بصفة عما بنحو ٨٣% خلال ذات الفترة و قد أثر ذلك على أعداد كبيرة من السكان المعرضين للانكشاف الغذائي في دول العجز الغذائي

Explanation:
vulnerability : The state of being vulnerable or exposed

As for المعرضين للانكشاف الغذائي, I suggest: ... who are prone to food vulnerability.

Food vulnerability is manifested in two ways: inadequate access to food throughout the year and acute food shortage on a seasonal basis.

More specifically, food vulnerability refers to the entire range of factors that place people in danger of food insecurity.
