[QUOTE="essentialsaltes, post: 75406659, member: 294566"] Maybe next year... [SIZE=6][B][URL='https://www.bbc.com/news/world-54476569']Nobel Peace Prize: UN World Food Programme wins for efforts to combat hunger[/URL][/B] [/SIZE] [SIZE=4]The Norwegian Nobel Committee said the WFP was declared winner of the prestigious award "for its efforts to combat hunger, for its contribution to bettering conditions for peace in conflict-affected areas and for acting as a driving force in efforts to prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict". Chairwoman Berit Reiss-Andersen said that with this year's award the committee wanted to "turn the eyes of the world to the millions of people who suffer from or face the threat of hunger". "The World Food Programme plays a key role in multilateral co-operation in making food security an instrument of peace," she told a news conference in Oslo.[/SIZE] "The coronavirus pandemic has contributed to a strong upsurge in the number of victims of hunger in the world," it wrote in a statement. "In the face of the pandemic, the World Food Programme has demonstrated an impressive ability to intensify its efforts." Earlier this year, the WFP warned that the world was[URL='https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52373888'] at risk of widespread famines "of biblical proportions"[/URL] as a result of the pandemic. The agency was established in 1961, following calls from former US President Dwight D Eisenhower for "a workable scheme" to be devised for providing food aid through the UN system. [/QUOTE]
