"The head of the World Health Organization has a stark message for the world.
On the one hand, said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at a press conference last
week, the focus on the victims of Russia's war on Ukraine is entirely justified
and necessary. But on the other hand, he added, the international community is
failing to give even "a fraction" of that attention to people in countries far
beyond Ukraine who are grappling with ripple effects of the war that are just
as devastating. Specifically, millions of people around the globe are being
pushed into hunger due to the reduction in exports of wheat and other key food
items from Ukraine and Russia – two of the world's biggest suppliers."
