A global crisis lurks in health and hunger (Star Tribune) 

May 01, 2020


The Star Tribune (Minneapolis, USA) published an article on the COVID-19 pandemic and the domino effect of a health crisis — a collapsing economy, rising unemployment, and disruptions to the food supply are all upending the developed world. MTID Director Rob Vos states while the world has had this many hungry people before, the speed and pace of the pandemic-triggered collapse is “unprecedented in recent history. So unprecedented action will be required to avoid not only many people [who] will die from COVID-19 but possibly many more from hunger.”
