UN Food Chief Warns of Impending Starvation and Unrest, Urges Billions in Funding.

The head of the UN World Food Program, David Beasley, has warned that without billions of dollars more to feed millions of hungry people, the world will see mass migration, destabilized countries, and starving children and adults in the next 12 to 18 months. Beasley praised increased funding from the US and Germany last year, but urged China, Gulf nations, billionaires, and other countries to step up their contributions. He warned that the next 12 to 18 months are critical, and if funding is not increased, there will be mass migration, destabilized nations, and starvation among children and people around the world.
