Covid-19 pushes 270 million people into hunger


Millions of more people are likely to go hungry this year because of the coronavirus crisis, the World Food Programme (WFP), a Rome-based UN agency, said Monday, as it announced plans for a massive boost to its global aid operation so it can reach them.

In an alert, WFP head David Beasley said that new estimates show that 270 million people face food insecurity by the end of this year.
