The boyband are among many celebrities who have appeared in a video to promote Enough Food for Everyone IF.

The likes of actor Orlando Bloom and Bill Gates also feature in the short clip, which aims to raise awareness of the charity project.

One Directon's Harry Styles says in the video: "One third of children in sub Saharan Africa are malnourished."

Bandmate Zayn Malik adds: "Big corporations avoid paying millions to Africa every day. If we stop this, all of Africa could have enough food to eat."

The project sees a host of well known charities such as UNICEF and Oxfam come together to promote the idea that governments can unite in an effort to tackle world hunger.
