For the international human rights organization, "the scale of severe food insecurity and associated malnutrition continues to escalate in the region"
"In the central Sahel alone, 7.5 million people are affected, compared to 5.4 million last year," IRC said in a statement.
These three countries are home to around 70 million people.
The phenomenon could worsen in these countries, as well as in Cameroon, Chad and Nigeria, between harvests, from June to August.
"In West and Central Africa, food insecurity has been progressively worsening over the last five years," said IRC's regional vice president for West Africa, quoted in the same note.
"Climate shocks have exacerbated" this phenomenon, as well as "undernutrition and insecurity", and "are pushing young people to migrate within and outside the region", added Modou Diaw.
Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger are on the UN's list of 46 least developed countries.
Each of them is ruled by an army that came to power through a coup d'état and each of them is the victim of deadly violence by terrorist groups.
After ensuring the departure of the French army from their territory, the three countries joined forces to form the Sahel States Alliance (SSA) and found new partners, including Russia.
On Saturday, Russian instructors delivered essential goods to Niger.
