I'm very worried about the toll of these lockdowns.



the world may see a global humanitarian catastrophe, including famine in three dozen countries — potentially the most serious crisis since World War II. Ports are closed and supply chains disrupted as a disaster looms for millions.

265 Million People Could Face Hunger in 'Unprecedented' Crisis, World Food Program Expert Warns



The world faces an "unprecedented" food crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused both severe job losses and major disruptions in food supply chains, the U.N. World Food Programme's Chief Economist warns.



"When you have these severe job losses, or you have big lockdowns, that means that those people become vulnerable," Arif Husain tells TIME.



An estimated 265 million people could go hungry in 2020, nearly double the 2019 figures, according to WFP's projection in April.



As millions around the world are losing their jobs or seeing their incomes cut, it's increasingly difficult for them to afford food, Husain says. At the same time, lockdown measures and trade restrictions are making it harder to transport food from where it's produced to where it's needed, resulting in food going to waste in the field.
