Kristofer Hivju Instagram – Jan Egeland: Beyond the health impacts of the disease itself, we need to be aware of the devastating economic consequences of the lockdowns. Millions of the people that @NRC_Norway helps, live hand-to-mouth every day, but they haven’t had the opportunity to earn their daily wage during the pandemic.
For example, in Yemen we’re facing possibly the largest humanitarian crisis on earth, 20 of the 28 million people there needed assistance before #COVID19. 10 million of them are one step away from famine. They will be harder hit than anyone else by the growing pandemic. If we don’t step in, coronavirus will thrive in Yemen and will return to other parts of the world in the future. We urge global leaders to unite and stamp out the virus everywhere, together
To ensure our most vulnerable receive the aid they need, join our coordinated global response to COVID-19 and demand action at @ONE. #oneworld #passthemic | Posted on 30/Jun/2020 17:28:42
