Offloading annual Korean rice aid [9] | Stock Arena

Wide shot for a shipment of the South Korean rice donation that will feed 6 million people for around 3-6 months annually.

Since 2018, the country’s annual commitment of 50,000 metric tons of rice has supported over 3 million people each year.

The announcement comes as some 345 million people are currently facing high levels of food insecurity, according to WFP analysis,

an increase of almost 200 million since early 2020. Of these, 43 million are just one step away from famine. WFP calls on G7 countries

to keep their focus on hunger as conflict, extreme climate and economic shocks push more and more people into desperation.
