Madagascar is on the verge of hunger, which for the first time in the world will be caused by global climate change. Such a development of the events predicted Official representative of the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UKHV) Jens Larks, reports TASS.
Lark noted that the country is experiencing a strongest drought over the past forty years, which is why tens of thousands of local residents are difficult to provide themselves with food. “People face a strong malnutrition, and 28 thousand people are in conditions similar to hunger when life threatens a danger,” he clarified.
UKHV asked the world community to allocate $ 231 million to a special program for financing humanitarian aid million Madagascars. The representative of the Department said that the donors had already provided $ 120 million, but this amount was not enough to provide citizens with food, water and medicines.
In July, it was reported that the former chapter of the UN Ban Ki-moon considered the Pandemic root of the COVID-19 global climate change. He stressed that humanity needs to be struggling not with signs of problems, but with their primary source. The former UN Secretary General stated that it was the obvious behavior of people affected the climate and caused subsequent catastrophes.
