UN warns that the coronavirus pandemic will generate a global famine

The next global pandemic is likely to be one of hunger as a consequence of measures taken to combat the spread of the coronavirus, the UN warned on Wednesday.

Although the World Health Organization, which reports to the United Nations, maintains that strict guidelines must be maintained to combat the spread of COVID-19, the World Food Program (WFP) assured that such measures will lead to increased poverty and hunger in the world.

WFP even added that the virus response could end up killing more people by the end of 2020 than the disease itself . . .
