Experts have sounded the alarm that if ports around Odessa remain closed, shortages of grain, oil and other goods will trigger famine and migration crises the world over.
The World Food Programme has warned an additional 130 million people could be facing starvation by the end of 2020 due to impacts of the coronavirus. The report cited Democratic Republic of the Congo, Yemen, Aghanistan and South Sudan among countries most at risk, noting also that East Africa and South Asia were already facing food shortages due to drought and locust infestations.
