      Wherever the date range is given (for example: '00–'02, '07–'09, '15–'17, '22–'24), the date should be considered from the title, such as: “DATA UNDERLYING THE CALCULATION OF THE 2000, 2008, 2016, AND 2025 GLOBAL HUNGER INDEX SCORES.” However, wherever the exact date is provided, that exact date should be used directly from the source, not from the title.
