COVID-19: 50 million people threatened by hunger in West Africa
Description
April 26, 2020
We're being told about how easy it is to wash your hands with soap and water. But millions of people around the world don't have access to that. In Africa - the consequences of strict measures - means tens of millions are threatened by hunger. In refugee camps - people are sharing one tap and up to 250 people are sharing less than 4 square metres of living space. Oxfam Canada's Humanitarian Manager Simmi Dixit tells us how we can help and why COVID is such a big threat to the most vulnerable.
