David Beasley - Executive Director of the World Food Programme

This year's Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to the UN agency dedicated to feeding the hungry and fending off mass starvation, the World Food Programme. The award will be 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?
