NEW YORK, 10 June 2022, (TON): UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said “the war in Ukraine threatens to unleash an unprecedented global wave of hunger and destitution.”
He added “while it is the vulnerable who are currently the worst affected, no country will be spared the effects of the cost-of-living crisis.”
Although he said the solution to the crisis ultimately lies in ending the war, Guterres called for two immediate courses of action.
Firstly, the release of millions of tons of stockpiled Ukrainian grain to world markets, along with exports of Russian fertilizer, which are currently being withheld.
And secondly, efforts to ensure that resources are immediately available to help the poorest countries and communities cope with the crisis.
