  • The World Food Programme has identified 25 ‘hotspots’ where acute hunger is reached devastating levels. Most of the countries stretch between West and East Africa, while vulnerable populations in Latin American and Middle Eastern countries, where the pandemic has exacerbated income losses, disrupted supply chains that contributed to surging food prices. The WFP and FAO previously estimated that food security could increase by 81% this year to almost 270 million people. Every 1% rise in acute hunger also contributes to a 2% increase in refugee outflows, which further threaten vulnerable populations as well as regional stability. The UN released an updated COVID-19 Global Humanitarian Response Plan last week, with the $4.9 billion WFP response accounting for nearly half of the sum, and an additional $500 million special provision for the 25 hotspots most at risk of famine.

  • A new study in PLoS Medicine shows that combining severe and moderate acute malnutrition treatments into a simplified protocol could be as effective as traditional treatment while saving $123 per child. The ‘Combined Protocol for Acute Malnutrition Study’ was conducted by LSHTM, the International Rescue Committee and Action Against Hunger, and found that the combined protocol was 76.3% effective at promoting nutritional recovery, which is slightly better than the 73.5% for standard treatment. With 50 million children currently not receiving malnutrition treatment, the efficacy and cost savings could translate into program expansions, with three million child deaths a year are linked to malnutrition.

The WHO and UNHCR signed an agreement to strengthen partnerships and operational capacities that focus on improving access to health services for some 70 million forcibly displaced people around the world from COVID-19. The poorest countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are facing pandemic-induced economic and public-health emergencies that demand immediate action. G20 leaders therefore must agree now on measures to prevent the current recession from deepening, and to mitigate its impact on the world’s most vulnerable people. We are at a critical moment, because the poorest countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are facing economic and public-health emergencies that demand immediate action.

The latest media briefing by the WHO warned that the global outlook has been “worsening” over the past week, with over 100,000 daily case reports in nine of the past ten days, as total confirmed cases surpass 7 million and total reported deaths approach half a million. One challenge has been complacency, as the WHO Technical Lead explains “people grow tired” which makes it difficult for governments to maintain or reintroduce public health and social distancing measures. As some regions like parts of Europe are beginning to see stabilizing or declining rates of new COVID-19 infection, Latin America has quickly become the ‘epicentre of the pandemic’. Of the 136,000 reported cases on Monday June 1, 2020, almost 75% came from just 10 countries, more than half of which were from Central and South American countries. The WHO Director General said he was “especially worried” given the large number of countries reporting rapidly increasing case and mortality rates straining health systems “from Mexico through to Chile.”


With almost 600,000 confirmed cases, Brazil has the second highest case count in the world following the U.S. With 2,600 deaths reported in just two days, the WHO Regional Office for the Americas, PAHO, warns that Brazil could see 88,000 deaths from COVID-19 by August unless the country takes drastic containment measures. Elsewhere in the world, Iran has reported more than 3,000 confirmed cases for a fourth consecutive day, raising concerns that the country may be experiencing a second wave of infections.

The numbers continue to surge in the U.S., with at least 6,098 reported deaths and 245,442 confirmed cases, accounting for almost a quarter of all worldwide cases. New York State has become the epicentre of the outbreak with almost 100,000 confirmed cases, while the U.S. reported over 1,000 deaths for the second day in a row. In Canada, the number of confirmed cases has also increased to 11,283, including 173 reported deaths.
