These Countries Face Unprecedented Hunger Crises Due To The Ukraine War
4th March 2022
The war between Ukraine and Russia will make the world’s hunger crisis even tougher to fight. The countries – one of which has traditionally been called Europe’s bread basket – are two of the world’s major suppliers of staple grains like wheat, and a protracted crisis increases the likelihood of supply interruptions and higher food prices for many people — including those who can least afford them.
Gallup data offer insight into the populations most likely to suffer from a prolonged disruption: People in countries reliant on wheat from Ukraine or Russia, where large segments of their populations were also struggling to afford food before the war broke out. Many of the countries on this list, including Egypt, Turkey and Kenya, are also dealing with political instability and conflict, situations only made worse when populations go hungry.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Turd World is that they breed until they can no longer feed themselves, and then come crying to more intelligent nations about their ‘humanitarian crisis’.
A wise man once said that a ‘humanitarian crisis’ is only a crisis for humanitarians, so they ought to be obliged to pay for fixing it.
