August 20, 2020


Express (Germany) published an article that stated tThe corona pandemic works like a fire accelerator for already existing crises. As a result, the number of hungry people threatens to rise to one billion due to climate change and global wars. In the Lancet, Impacts of COVID-19 on childhood malnutrition and nutrition-related mortality, Senior Research Fellow Derek Headey and colleagues wrote, “every day 24,000 people die as a result, three quarters of them are children under five. Due to the corona pandemic, almost 180,000 children under the age of five are at risk of starvation this year.”
