UN Food Chief: War in Ukraine Created ‘A Disaster Over A Disaster’

The UN food chief warned that the war in Ukraine would create a “catastrophe upon a catastrophe” and would have a global impact “more than we saw after World War II” as farmers in a country formerly a basket of bread. The world is fighting Russia ahead and high food prices are rising sharply.

UN World Food Program head David Beazley told the UN Security Council on Tuesday that his agency, which fed 125 million people in Ukraine before Russia’s invasion on February 24, was beginning to cut rations because of the increase. of food and fuel. And the cost of delivery for millions of families around the world. In war -torn Yemen, he said, 8 million people saw food cut by 50 percent “and now we’re looking at a zero ration.”

The war in Ukraine is destroying the country and “turning the world’s bread basket into a loaf of bread” for its millions, Beasley said. But it is also detrimental to countries around the world, such as Egypt, which is 85% dependent on Ukrainian wheat, and in Lebanon, which is 81% dependent by 2020.

Ukraine and Russia produce 30% of the world’s wheat reserves, 20% of the world’s corn reserves and 75-80% of sunflower oil.
