Information

The ongoing global outbreak of COVID-19, which so far has infected some 4 million and killed over a quarter of a million people worldwide, continues to cause havoc on the global economy and is putting pressure on health systems. There are also increasing concerns that this health crisis could turn into a food crisis.

The recent Global Report on Food Crisis reported that 135 million people suffered acute hunger, needing food assistance in 2019. Because of COVID-19 this number could increase dramatically this year.
