How the Strait of Hormuz closure is threatening aid and food security

The wars on Iran, Gaza and Lebanon have seen millions left without shelter or food. People are fleeing into neighbouring Syria, Turkiye and Iraq and aid organisations are struggling to meet the demand for help. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has seen much needed aid stranded in key transportation hubs like Dubai. Crucial fertiliser for growing crops is also being blocked just as spring planting season has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, meaning we could see global food supplies impacted. Here in Australia getting the message through that help is urgently needed has been difficult as people are focused on the cost of petrol and paying the bills.Guests: Susanne Legena, CEO of Plan International Australia; and Mat Tinkler, CEO Save the Children AustraliaProducer: Catherine ZengererAustralians wishing to donate to the Middle East Appeal can do so here: https://emergencyaction.org.au/middle-east-appeal/ or call 1300-939-000.
