The relationship between #COVID19 and the #SDGs is 2way. Not only has the virus an impact on their achievement, but also the extent to which progress has been made on the goals determines the severity of the crisis. Read more in this piece w/ Joe Colombano https://t.co/kJiF7cN60a

Broken supply chains = prices go up = people can't afford food. Combine this with lost incomes & hunger will spike.

My colleague @bauer_jm explains what's happening in Congo, and how the number of people who need @WFP assistance has doubled.

#OnThisDay 40 years ago, #smallpox was made history.

It's the only human disease to be eradicated so far.

A lesson we must take is: when the 🌍 unites behind science and public health measures we can defeat diseases and protect lives and livelihoods.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Landed: Today, the 1st @WFP-contracted 757 arrived in Burkina Faso from the @UN's new cargo hub in Belgium, carrying medical supplies & PPE on behalf of @UNICEF & @ICRC. This kick-starts a global supply network to fight #COVID19 across Africa, with many more flights to come!

[Madevi Sun-Suon @_madevi]

According to @ilo, almost half the 🌍 workforce are in “immediate danger of having their livelihoods destroyed” by the economic impact of #COVID19. Those who are "at the bottom end," who lack protection & resources, are most at risk. https://t.co/6F6nVYEYcg

My brother-in-law cant survive. He will be removed from his ventilator tomorrow.

You DONT need to go bowling or to a nail salon or wherever. You want to die? Use a gun. But don't let your selfishness rain misery on families with loved ones who couldnt avoid the virus you spread.

By the end of this year, 265 million people could be facing starvation. 265 MILLION. That's what's in store if we don't mobilize resources and efforts to fight this disease in the most vulnerable countries.

I explain more in my interview with @EdithLedererAP of @AP.
