This is a frankly disingenuous way to put it. Saudi isn’t to blame for world hunger, which isn’t caused by money anyways. The primary concern of the Saudi ruling family is themselves and their citizens and last time I checked, they weren’t facing food insecurity. Countries facing widespread hunger do so due a mix of factors, including war, corruption, lack of policies promoting agriculture, etc…throwing money alone at the problem won’t solve it and at some point, these countries should be held responsible to fix their problems.

The only hunger they are responsible for is in Yemen, and that's fixed by a change in policy not by funds

Yes, poor maligned Saudi Arabia, they've never hurt anyone and haven't maintained a death grip on the world's energy for decades by undermining alternating energy at every turn (even while embracing it for domestic use). I mean, this [1] is from this year, and that after their own pivot into domestic renewables. Just from the damage they've caused by inhibiting renewables, they're up there as some of the biggest contributors to global issues now and in the future. It's not only on them, many others are more then complicit, but they know what they've been doing.
