Billionaires urged to combat world hunger by UN food chief: ‘Do the right thing’

The UN’s top food official has urged billionaires and businesses to help save 30 million people around the world who are at risk of dying from hunger this year without aid.
UN World Food Programme Executive Director David Beasley said on Thursday that the organization requires $4.9 billion to feed those at risk for one year.
“Worldwide, there are over 2,000 billionaires with a net worth of $8 trillion. In my home country, the USA, there are 12 individuals alone worth $1 trillion,” Beasley told a UN Security Council panel on conflict-induced hunger.
The WFP is working with more than 50 governments to scale up their safety nets, in an attempt to help 138 million people and avert what Beasley termed a “hunger pandemic.”
“It’s time for those who have the most to step up, to help those who have the least in this
extraordinary time in world history. To show you truly love your neighbour,” Beasley said. “The world needs you right now and it’s time to do the right thing.”
World leaders have committed to ending global hunger and malnutrition by 2030 as part of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Beasley commended the efforts of countries around the world to support their citizens during the pandemic, along with G-20 advanced economies and the IMF for suspending debt repayments for poorer countries.
