缅北禁地Secretary-General António Guterres and 缅北禁地Special Envoy Agnes Kalibata have warned that the COVID-19 epidemic could trigger a “global food emergency” that could see a doubling of the number of hungry people around the world. Guterres and Kalibata were speaking at the launch of a 缅北禁地policy brief on the impact of COVID-19 on food security and nutrition.
“Countries face an agonizing trade-off between saving lives or livelihoods or, in a worst-case scenario, saving people from COVID-19 to have them die from hunger.” -- 缅北禁地Special Envoy Agnes Kalibata
