Hunger deepens during Covid-19

from African Dialogue · host Channel Africa

Research organisation Oxfam warns that around 12 000 people per day could die from covid-19 linked hunger by the end of the year, this potentially more than the damage the disease itself can cause. This is as a lot of economies around the world take a knock because of the covid-19 lockdowns. Many companies have had to close shop, whilst others had to lay off workers in a bit to stay afloat, thus removing food on the table of many. To help us unpack all these we are joined by• Mthandazo Ndlovu HlalaProgramme Manager OXFAM• Lola Castro Regional Director: Southern AfricaWorld Food Program • Prof Julian May Director Centre of Excellence in Food Security (UWC)
