our new normal — and we will be dealing with the fallout for

countries are just one step from famine — and a staggering 45
million children under the age of five are now estimated to
suffer from acute malnutrition.

> According to WFP estimates from 79 countries where the
Rome-based agency operates, up to 783 million people — one in 10
of the world’s population — still go to bed hungry every night.
More than 345 million people are facing high levels of food
insecurity this year, an increase of almost 200 million people
from early 2021 before the COVID-19 pandemic, the agency said.
>
> At the root of the soaring numbers, WFP said, is “a deadly
combination of conflict, economic shocks, climate extremes and
soaring fertilizer prices.”
>
> The economic fallout from the pandemic and the war in Ukraine
have pushed food prices out of the reach of millions of people
across the world at the same time that high fertilizer prices
have caused falling production of maize, rice, soybeans and
wheat, the agency said.

Should these 700 million be the ones dying? If only a fraction
of this number of Westerners could die instead, there would be
enough food for this 700 million.
