Millions of people have been pushed into hunger by the new coronavirus, says the United Nations World Food Program.
Millions of people have been pushed into hunger by the coronavirus pandemic, the U.N. World Food Program said Monday as it appealed for nearly $5 billion to help feed those in need in poor and middle-income countries.
He said that, unless there is access to enough food, the world could see “increased social unrest and protests, a rise in migration, deepening conflict and widespread under-nutrition among populations that were previously immune from hunger.” The fallout from the pandemic is being felt hardest in Latin America, which has seen an almost threefold rise in the number of people requiring food assistance, and among urban communities in low- and middle-income countries, which are being dragged into destitution by job losses and a precipitous drop in remittances, the money sent by migrants to family and others in their home countries.
