For families already facing extreme poverty, hunger could become more deadly than the virus itself.

A global recession triggered by the pandemic could leave over half a billion people without sufficient food. Mothers like Sameera* and their babies shouldn't have to live with hunger and the damage it does. We urgently need your help to deliver vital life-saving food to families like Sameera and Halima's*.
