Coronavirus pandemic will cause global famines of 'biblical proportions,' UN warns

The world is facing multiple famines of "biblical proportions" in just a matter of months, the UN has said, warning that the coronavirus pandemic will push an additional 130 million people to the brink of starvation. Famines could take hold in "about three dozen countries" in a worst-case scenario, the executive director of the World Food Programme (WFP) said in a stark address on Tuesday. Ten of those countries already have more than 1 million people on the verge of starvation, he said.

The upshot is that Beijing’s handling of the crisis has eroded trust just when it had a chance to demonstrate global leadership.
