United Nations report released on 13 July Monday said that almost 690 million people – 1 in 9 of the world's population – suffered from hunger last year, a major downward revision of previous estimates. An additional 93 million to 132 million people could go hungry in 2020 as a result of the economic recession triggered by COVID-19. The pandemic has disrupted food supply distribution and the flow of remittances so mostly poorer and vulnerable people faced more difficult conditions to have reach access to healthy diets.
