Invent the metaphor

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that the world is facing a “pivotal moment” and business as usual could lead to a “breakdown of the world order.”

93 million more pushed into poverty by COVID-19 says a UN report

“The pandemic wiped out more than four years of progress on poverty eradication and pushed 93 million more people into extreme poverty in 2020. It has disrupted essential health services, resulting in a drop in immunization coverage for the first time in a decade and a rise in deaths from tuberculosis and malaria, among many other impacts. Prolonged school closures put 24 million learners from pre-primary to university levels at risk of not returning to school.”
