’Marching towards starvation’: UN warns of hell on earth if Ukraine
war goes on
Dozens of countries risk protests, riots and political violence this year
as food prices surge around the world, the head of the food-aid branch
of the United Nations has warned. Speaking in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis
Ababa, on Thursday, David Beasley, director of the UN World Food Programme (WFP), said the world faced "frightening"shortages that could
destabilise countries that depend on wheat exports from Ukraine and Russia.
"Even before the Ukraine crisis, we were facing an unprecedented
global food crisis because of Covid and fuel price increases," said Beasley. "Then, we thought it couldn’t get any worse, but this war has been
devastating." Ukraine grows enough food every year to feed 400 million
people. It produces 42% of the world’s sunflower oil, 16% of its maize
and 9% of its wheat. Somalia relies on Ukraine and Russia for all of its
wheat imports, while Egypt gets 80% of its grain from the two countries.
The WFP sources 40% of the wheat for its emergency food-relief
programmes from Ukraine and, after its operating costs rose by $70m
(£58m) a month, it has been forced to halve rations in several countries.
Citing increases in the price of shipping, fertiliser and fuel as key factors
- due to Covid-19, the climate crisis and the Ukraine war - Beasley said
the number of people suffering from "chronic hunger" had risen from 650
million to 810 million in the past five years.
