World Vision is pleased that the first ship carrying grain has left the Ukrainian port of Odesa<\/li>\n
Millions of tons of grain need to be exported to tackle the global hunger crisis that’s put 50 million people, including an estimated 21 million children, at imminent risk of famine and starvation<\/li>\n
World Vision hopes cooperation over grain exports will open the door to an urgent scale-up in shipments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ el_class=”vc_col-sm-pull-4″][vc_single_image image=”85177″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]BUCHAREST (August 1, 2022) —<\/strong> International humanitarian organization World Vision has welcomed the departure of the first shipment of grain from Ukraine’s Odesa seaport and hopes it will be the first of many that are urgently needed to tackle the global hunger crisis.<\/p>\n
The ship left this morning for Lebanon, which is facing an accelerating humanitarian crisis caused by one of the world’s worst economic collapses in recent history.<\/a> More than 2 million people in Lebanon require emergency aid, in addition to 1.5 million Syrian refugees in the country who do not have access to even basic services. In June of last year about a third<\/a> of the children in Lebanon had to go to bed hungry or skip meals, and with the worsening hunger crisis and grain shortage, World Vision fears this will become the way of life for the majority of the country’s children.<\/p>\n
“Millions of people around the world rely on Ukrainian grain. Without it, children and their families face increased food shortages and worrying price spikes,” says Jennifer Neelsen, World Vision’s Ukraine crisis response director. “For months the [Ukraine] conflict has prevented any sea shipments, so humanitarian agencies including World Vision are hopeful that this is only the first of a regular flow of further shipments. Right now, some 20 million tons of grain are bottlenecked in Ukraine. Hopefully it can begin to flow out.”<\/p>\n
Around the world, 50 million people are one step away from famine that would put already vulnerable children at risk of severe malnutrition and death. This dire situation has resulted from shocks including regional conflicts like the one in Ukraine, sharply rising costs, extreme weather events, and the social and economic impacts of the COVID pandemic.<\/p>\n
“Grain export cannot solve all the hunger problems resulting from climate change and conflict but it will hopefully de-escalate the crisis and contribute to more affordable prices for those worst affected,” Neelsen said. “The shipment is a drop in the ocean of what is required, but it’s a start. We hope the shipping agreement holds. Food flows need to be scaled up immediately if lives are to be saved.”<\/p>\n
World Vision is currently engaged in the largest-ever humanitarian response in its 70-year history, aiming to deliver food and life-saving assistance to 22 million people in 25 of the countries hardest hit by the hunger crisis.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]About<\/strong> <\/strong>World Vision<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong>
