This year’s Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to the World Food
Programme, the UN agency dedicated to feeding the hungry and
fending off mass starvation. This week the award was handed to
the body's executive director, David Beasley, in recognition of
the agency’s worldwide effort to overcome the challenges of
conflict and Covid-19. 2020 has been a terrible year for those
experiencing extreme hunger; is there a real danger that 2021
will be even worse?
