Corona is now the name of the world's terror. However, poverty and hunger are taking a turn for the worse, according to Oxfam, an international volunteer organization. The agency claims that if the issue is not addressed now, more in the world could die from food shortages or starvation than from the Corona epidemic.
This information has been mentioned in the reports of several international media including The Guardian yesterday.
Borders have been closed in many countries to prevent corona infection, the report said. A ban has also been imposed on the movement of people. As a result, food supply is being disrupted in economically weak countries. Ordinary people's income has decreased. In war-torn Yemen, the humanitarian crisis has already intensified. Two-thirds of the country's people live in extreme poverty. They are spending their days without eating.
The situation in Afghanistan is also getting worse. Oxfam reports that another 1 million people are facing new famines in the country. In September last year, 2.5 million people in Afghanistan were affected by famine. That number has increased to 35 lakh in May this year.
