[ScarcityNews] David Beasley, executive director of the United Nations’ (UN) World Food Program (WFP), recently said that the global food crisis has gotten so bad that the WFP has had no choice but to take food aid from countries with already limited resources to provide for those that are on the brink of famine.
Beasley made these remarks at a meeting with the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, following a two-day visit to Yemen, which is currently spiraling into a catastrophe that the WFP’s own resources are unable to deal with as funding dries up.
“We have no choice but to take food from the hungry to feed the starving and, unless we receive immediate funding, in a few weeks we risk not even being able to feed the starving,” said Beasley. “This will be hell on earth.” |
