UN Food Chief Warns Millions “Knocking on Famine’s Door”

Around 50 million people are now on the brink of famine, while even greater numbers face food insecurity, according to UN food chief David Beasley. (Associated Press)

“Fifty million people in 45 countries are knocking on famine’s door. If we don’t reach these people, you will have famine, starvation, destabilization of nations unlike anything we saw in 2007-2008 and 2011, and you will have mass migration.”

The reason for the food crisis is the fact that grain shipments from both Ukraine and Russia, which typically export enough goods to feed hundreds of millions of people, have fallen sharply. Economic sanctions on Russia have exacerbated the issue, as fertilizer exports from Russia, the world’s second-largest producer behind China, have declined significantly.
