Listen to an interview with Julie Marshall from the World Food Programme speaking on the rising numbers of people facing acute and starvation level hunger in the world today, this is a reality that has been exasperated by the pandemic crisis of COVID-19. Particularly this conversation also focuses on Afghanistan, a context within which Canada was involved in a NATO military intervention. Today there are 22 million people facing danger in regards to food security in Afghanistan and I thought it was important to highlight this point from the perspective of an international institution doing concrete frontline work, as part of the UN infrastructure, to address this crisis in Afghanistan.
