Hunger over pandemic will kill thousands of children, agencies say

International agencies estimate that $ 2.4 billion would be needed to try to avoid the shocking prognosis of 130,000 deaths of children from malnutrition each year for as long as the pandemic continues to threaten humanity. As long as the economies at a global level do not fully restore their supply chains; the fields around the world remain abandoned; And as the price of food continues to skyrocket, as many as 10,000 children under the age of 5 would die each month from hunger and food shortages, according to research published by The Lancet magazine.
