What does food insecurity have to do with covid-19?

20 Jul 2022


Hunger is rising to unprecedented levels but not because of lack of supply, but rather as a result of the effects of inequality in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. The climate crisis and armed conflicts complete the scene, the “State of Food Insecurity and Nutrition in the World 2022” UN report has concluded.

The beautiful picture painted by the 2030 Agenda to end hunger has rather faced a regression. The forums where leaders meet to address global issues has become a champagne room.

Take a look at this instructive cartoon by @helodangeloarte on what food insecurity has to do with Covid-19 and why universal access to Covid health resources is so important.

If we can speak about recovery for some, we must acknowledge that #COVID has been a thriving time for others, particularly #BigPharma.

#Pfizer's vaccine is one of the most lucrative products in history, amassing nearly $37 bn

"When we talk about accountability to partnerships, there have to be parameters, inexcusable promotion and protection of #HumanRights & scrutiny of how partnerships work, & how benefits are shared.

"The absurd & unconscionable profits raked in by #BigPharma during #COVID are paid in human lives, particularly in the global South".
