200 years ago up to 95% of the world's population lived in extreme poverty. That number is less than 9% today.
Despite the progress made, former @WFP chief @dbeasley1 argues “we're now going backwards” & are not making enough progress in helping to reach the final 9% in need.
Istanbul is one of the great cities of the world. Straddles two continents - Europe and Asia, home to the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Bosphorus Canal and its history, culture commercie transcend time. And, I sure do love the food!
Pope Francis cared for “the least of these”. We met several times over the years while I was Ex Dir of WFP in Rome. He always wanted to know what he could do to help the hungry and bring peace to the world. He is resting now with the Almighty. Thank you, Pope Francis.
Former SC Governor and head of the UN World Food Program, @dbeasley1, tells USGLC's @LizSchrayer, “Food is the pathway to peace... the lack of food is the pathway to war... If you're not going to [provide international food assistance] out of the kindness of your heart, then you'd better do it out of your national security interest and your financial interest." #SaferStronger🇺🇸
