THE HUNGER VIRUS: HOW COVID-19 IS FUELING HUNGER IN A HUNGRY WORLD
---------------------------------------------
-----------------------
According to Oxfam report 2020, COVID-19 is deepening the hunger crisis in the world’s hunger hotspots and creating new epicentres of hunger across the globe. By the end of the year 12,000 people per day could die from hunger linked to COVID-19, potentially more will die from the disease itself. The pandemic is the final straw for millions of people already struggling with the impacts of conflict, climate change, inequality and a broken food system that has impoverished millions of food producers and workers. Meanwhile, those at the top are continuing to make a profit: eight of the biggest food and drink companies paid out over $18 billion to shareholders since January even as the pandemic was spreading across the globe - ten times more than has been requested in the UN COVID-19 appeal to stop people going hungry. While governments must act to contain the spread of this deadly disease, Oxfam is also calling for urgent action to end this hunger crisis and build fairer, more robust, and sustainable food systems.Oxfam, 2020.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Sam Amadi will do justice to this report with focus on Plateau State Nigeria.
