LONDON: The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) has raised concerns that the coronavirus pandemic could lead to worst famines in the Middle East and North Africa.
Around the world, the agency said those suffering from hunger could be pushed up from 135 million to 250 million. It said the 10 countries most at risk of famine are those embroiled in civil war and conflict, including Syria and Yemen. Addressing the UN Security Council, David Beasley, head of the WFP, said the world needs to “act wisely and fast” to prevent huge amounts of suffering.
