According to the World Food Program, at the end of 2019, 135 million people worldwide were facing ‘severe hunger’, and now that most countries around the world are facing lockdowns, that number has risen to 265 million this year. Will go

David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Program, said: "Even before the Corona virus was raised, for a number of reasons, I have been saying that 2020 will be the year after World War II with the worst humanitarian crisis. May face.

In 2019, the amount of aid received by the World Food Program was 3 8.3 billion. This year, the company will need 10 to 12 billion dollars to run its operations.

Even before the war broke out in Yemen, it was the poorest country in the Arab world.

But operations by the Saudi-led military coalition against Houthi rebels in Yemen in 2015 have exacerbated the country’s already existing humanitarian crisis.

Arif Hussain, chief economist at the World Food Program, told the BBC: "As the conflict drags on, more and more people are being affected. In 2016, we were providing assistance to 3 to 4 million people in Yemen. That number has now reached 12 million.

According to the World Food Program (WFP), the situation worsened when aid to Houthi rebel-held areas was cut off due to concerns from several countries.

These countries said that the Houthis were obstructing the delivery of aid to their territories.

Earlier this month, the first confirmed case of corona virus was reported in Yemen. Aid agencies have warned that the epidemic will soon overwhelm Yemen’s fragile health system.

Various parts of the Congo have been plagued by armed conflict for the past 25 years, and according to the World Health Organization, it is facing the world’s second-largest hunger crisis.

Fifteen percent of Congo’s population is classified as “severely food insecure”. This means that these people are among the 30 million people around the world who live directly in war zones and are completely dependent on aid.

According to Arif Hussain, these people need at least ارب 2 billion to arrange food deliveries for the next three months.

“These are the people who have been badly affected and now (after Corona) they are suffering more,” he said.

In addition to these people, there are 5 million refugees and 500,000 refugees from neighboring countries in Congo.

In addition to the risks to everyone living in war-torn areas, homeless people are at even greater risk of contracting the corona virus because they often need basic hygiene to help prevent the spread of disease. They are also deprived of facilities.

Earlier this month, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) warned that the ongoing conflict in the Congo was hampering efforts to control the corona virus. The Corona epidemic has so far affected the Congolese capital.
Venezuela

Unlike other countries on the list, the problem of hunger in Venezuela is not due to any war or environmental reasons but due to economic difficulties.

Although Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves, inflation rose to 200 percent in January last year, leaving one-third of the country’s population in need of foreign aid.

According to the World Food Program, these problems were exacerbated by the mass exodus of health workers from the country.

And the list of problems doesn’t end there. About 15 percent of Venezuela’s population, or 4.8 million people, have emigrated to neighboring countries in the past few years, and many of them suffer from malnutrition in neighboring countries.
South Sudan

South Sudan came into being in 2011 when it gained independence from its northern neighbor.

One of the goals of gaining independence was to end the country’s years-long civil war, but just two years after gaining independence, South Sudan fell victim to a fierce armed conflict.

The World Food Program (WFP) has warned that hunger and malnutrition in South Sudan have been at an all-time high since 2011, with about 60 percent of the country’s population struggling to find food every day.

The situation took a turn for the worse when locusts turned to South Sudan after destroying crops in East Africa this year.

According to Arif Hussain, “Even if the corona virus is not a problem here, the desert locust is a big story.”

South Sudan is heavily dependent on oil and will be hit hard by falling oil prices.

According to Johns Hopkins University in the United States, there are only four cases of corona virus in South Sudan.

Located in the center of the capital, Bangkok, locals consider it the most ugly part of the beautiful city.

This one and a half square kilometer area, consisting of small houses made of rotten wood and old tones, has swamps of land and drains.

Sothi is a single mother raising her children and grandchildren without any help. She makes a living by selling fried chicken and meatballs in front of a nearby school, but her only source of income is suddenly lost due to the epidemic as the school is closed.

She earned a thousand baht (US 30 30) a day, but suddenly her income was zero. She has been devastated by the virus. This is the story of many of the 20,000 residents of the Klong Toi Katchi population.

They have neither school children nor any other customer to buy their food. In such a situation, they are not meeting their daily expenses.

She says, 'I really want to go out to sell food and try to make some money. But I don’t have enough money to buy my own food. In that case, where would I get the money to buy chicken and meatballs and sell them?

She currently spends her meals distributed by different temples and different foundations.

'Whenever I hear that people are being provided free food in the area, I get there and try to get as much food as possible so that the whole house can get enough. I’m scared of the virus, but with limited resources and a lack of money, this is the way I can survive. ’

For those living in the slums, there are no more career paths left than drug trafficking and smuggling.

Like many others, Thongrowing Thongfuen is a 56-year-old woman who earns a living as a laborer and is currently struggling to make ends meet.

Every day, she and her husband leave the slums and stand on a nearby highway waiting for someone to take them to work. He knows the government’s advice on not leaving the house, but he feels that making money is more important than staying alive.

‘Poor people like us have very little choice,’ says Thongfuin. I know the government is asking everyone to stay home. But if I don’t go out to make money, none of us will survive.

“No one is ready to hire us,” he said. When we are out, we are at risk of getting infected with the virus and we may be carrying it in our neighborhood. But what can I do? My children need food and those from whom we have borrowed keep coming to pay. I have a lot of pressure. Sometimes I don’t even see the benefit of living. ”

Klong Tui is the largest slum in Thailand. Officially, there are at least 20,000 people living there, but the actual number is thought to be much higher, perhaps close to 100,000.

Houses are built on top of one another, making it extremely difficult to prevent the spread of diseases.

Most of the slum dwellers are aware of the Kovod-19 epidemic but due to limited resources they can do nothing but look at each other.

“Most of the people in this community are children, the elderly and the sick who have little movement,” said Sunit Moinwai, another resident. If there is a single case here, consider the whole community clean.

Ludda Mengipole is 26 years old and lives in a slum population. She makes face masks and gives people free.

“I am one of the lucky ones who has a job and is able to take care of my family,” she says. But I see a lot of my aunts, uncles and neighbors who are struggling in this crisis.

"They are all workers and they have no job at this time. This is just the first month of the outbreak in Bangkok and people are already in trouble. I cannot imagine what will happen next month. ’

He added: 'The situation in my block is terrible. There is a certified case of Cod 19 … I’m afraid

Jon Almeida is the founder of ‘imaging’ the virus, and in the current global outbreak, his discovery is once again the focus of the whole world.

Code 19 is a new virus, but it is also a variant of the Corona virus, which Dr. Alameda identified in the laboratory of St Thomas’s Hospital in London in 1964.

Jon Hart, a virologist, was born in 1930 in the northeastern part of Glasgow, Scotland, and spent his childhood in the poorest part of the city.

He left school at the age of 16 and had his regular education disconnected, but got a laboratory technician job at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, a Glasgow hospital.

She later moved to London to pursue a career where in 1954 she married Venezuelan artist Enriquez Almeida.What is the difference between corona virus and flu?

The couple later moved to Toronto, Canada with their daughter. According to George Winters, an author in the field of medicine, Dr. Almeida had the opportunity to specialize in electron microscopy at the Ontario Cancer Research Institute, a cancer research institute in Ontario, Canada.

Here they laid the foundation for a way in which the virus could be better visualized using antibodies.

George Winters told the BBC that in recognition of his abilities, Britain encouraged him to return home and in 1964 he returned to London to work at St Thomas’ Medical School.

This is the same hospital where current UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was recently admitted to the Corona virus.

At this London hospital, he began working with Dr. David Tyrell, who was conducting research on the common cold in Wiltshire County, Salisbury.

George Winters says Dr. Tyrell was observing samples obtained from volunteers that his team found that they had succeeded in eliminating several viruses that could be linked to common colds, but Not all germs or viruses were detected.

A sample, identified as ‘B814’, was obtained from a student at Surrey County’s boarding school.

They also found that they could transmit symptoms of common cold to volunteers, but they could not reproduce them in normal ‘cell culture’ in laboratories.

The volunteers’ research proved that their ‘organ culture’ is booming, and Dr. Tyrell was curious as to whether they could be seen with an electron microscope.

He sent these samples to Jun Almadi, who looked at the virus particles in a sample and said they were similar to ‘influenza’ viruses but not exactly the same.

What they identified became the first human corona virus.

George Winters said that Dr. Almeida had also seen such particles before when he was researching rat jaundice and poultry ‘bronchitis’ - throat and lung disease.

But his thesis, which was rejected in a journal of his contemporaries in which experts say that the photographs made by Dr. Almeida are bad images of influenza virus particles.

A new discovery of this ‘B814’ breed was published in the British Medical General in 1965, and the image he saw was released two years later in the journal General Virology.

According to George Winter, Dr. Tyrell and Dr. Almeida, together with Professor Tony Watson, who is in charge of St. Thomas’s Hospital, named it the Corona virus because it had a ‘crown’ or crown crown around it.

Dr. Almeida later worked at the London Postgraduate Medical School, where he was awarded a doctorate.

His professional life culminated in the Wicklem Institute, where he received numerous patents for his name in the ‘imaging’ field of the virus.

After leaving the Wellcome Institute, Dr. Alameda began training in yoga but continued consulting in the field of virology and in 1980 helped to create a unique image of the HIV virus.

June Almeida passed away in 2007 at the age of 77.

Now 13 years after his death, he is finally being acknowledged for his work which he deserves as its founder and because of his work, the epidemic that engulfs the entire world today. Has helped a lot in understanding what has happened
