Yahoo News published an article about how the COVID-19 health crisis has caused a hunger crisis. IFPRI warned that, if the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) drops 5 percent due to the coronavirus disaster, then 147 million people will fall into extreme poverty. Senior Research Fellow David Laborde Debucquet said that would include 50 percent of the population (79 million people) in sub-Saharan Africa, and 42 million living in Southeast Asia.
