乌克兰战争可能带来什么连锁反应,饥荒?资金短缺?

Even before this brutal war, the World Food Programme warned that 2022 would be a year of catastrophic hunger, with 44 million people in 38 countries teetering on the edge of famine. The global food body is now slashing food aid to other emergencies across East Africa and the Middle East, in a knock-on effect of stretched funding.

早在这场残酷的战争爆发之前，世界粮食计划署就曾警告称，2022年将是灾难性饥饿的一年，全球38个国家的4400万人口处于饥荒的边缘。资金紧张引起连锁反应，全球粮食组织正在削减针对东非和中东地区其他紧急情况的粮食援助。
