NAIROBI, Kenya (AN) — Despite the United Nations-led push to relieve global poverty and hunger, the number of people not getting enough nutrition rose by 60 million since 2014 — and the COVID-19 pandemic may add up to 132 million more to their ranks this year.
That is the dire conclusion of five U.N. agencies in their 2020 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report issued on Monday that finds 690 million people already suffer chronic hunger in the world.
