A silent tsunami which knows no borders is sweeping the world.

A silent tsunami which knows no borders is sweeping the world.
If any good comes out of the current famine in the Horn of Africa — amidst the pictures of mothers carrying dying babies at their shrivelled breasts and hollow-eyed children with swollen bellies and matchstick limbs — it will be galvanising the world on the need to ensure access to nutritious food for the world’s most vulnerable people.
With climate change and health crises rightfully receiving international attention, the time has come to focus on hunger as a top priority. WHO regards hunger and malnutrition as the gravest threat to public health, and climate change threatens to further destabilise already fragile food-production systems.
I am in the hunger business; it is what we do exclusively, 24/7, and I am sorry to tell you that business is booming.
