As the world is dealing with the Coronavirus-19pandemic and the economy is being deteriorated, it is also on the brink of a hunger pandemic within a few months if immediate action wasn't taken, was the point David Beasley – Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme – uttered to the U.N. Security Council."We were able to avert it in 2020, because the world leaders responded with money, stimulus packages and deferral of debt," he added. He also said without that money of billion dollars, the upcoming famine pandemic "of biblical proportions in 2021" would not be able to be overcome.

This issue has actually been around for so long, yet since the media are full of news COVID-19 related or US election-related, this issue has been overshadowed. Beasley himself has given talks to parliaments and world leaders regarding this upcoming problem, and according to him, "the response has really been good." He now is invited to lots of events to explain what and how catastrophic things are going to happen in 2021 and how the world leaders can help by prioritizing the programs being initiated.

He said, "Those are important things. Right now, we really need to focus on icebergs, and icebergs are famine, starvation, destabilization and migration." He also added that World Food Programme needs $15 billion next year, with $5 billion to avert famine and $10 billion to carry out the agency's global programs including for malnourished children and school lunches. Those amounts of money, he hoped to get from the governments and also the entrepreneurs which are billionaires, and also the world leaders concern about global economy.

As a matter of data, there are 20 countries in the danger line needing urgent attention. Some of those countries are Sierra Leone,Afghanistan, Lebanon, Mali, Yemen, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Congo,Ethiopia, Mozambique, Somali, Haiti, Sudan, Central African Republic, Syria and Venezuela.
