This article ‘Instead of coronavirus, the hunger will kill us.’ A global food crisis looms discusses the alarming situation regarding global hunger caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Even though 135 million people have already been facing food shortages, the pandemic poses a risk for nearly the same number of people around the world to suffer from hunger (Dahir, 2020). Despite being called an equalizer, the coronavirus has revealed social inequalities and class divisions more than ever before. While both rich and poor can get sick, low-income nations and communities are at risk of not only infection but also starvation. The pandemic disrupts supply routes and agricultural production in many countries. Moreover, safety measures like social distancing and lockdowns decrease incomes and leave many people jobless, which brings hunger to even more families around the world. While global hunger has been a serious issue before the COVID-19, the crises usually occurred on a regional level. They were caused by disasters, extreme weather, wars, or political issues. The current situation is unique since the global economic order is interrupted. The primary factors adding to the hunger crisis risks are decreased income, oil prices collapse, the downfall of tourism, and other current issues, such as humanitarian disasters, climate change, and violence. A report on numerous people injured and two killed during a flour and oil giveaway in Kenya reveals how desperate the population is. In India, many workers depend on daily meal distributions to avoid hunger. According to Dahir (2020), the Indian government has organized soup kitchens, but it becomes more difficult to access food as the number of people in need increases. Across Columbia, citizens hang out red flags and clothing to bring the government’s attention to their malnutrition. Many children who lost access to classes miss out on nutritious meals usually given out at schools. Protests break out across the world as people in South Africa, India, Honduras, and other regions get more worried about starvation. For many people, hunger appears a more immediate threat than the coronavirus. As Dahir (2020) reports, poor countries that rely on imports and harvesting can expect the situation to worsen within the coming months. In this regard, developing countries are labor-intensive and more affected by the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast, developed nations mostly have automated and well-organized food distribution systems. However, even within countries with large economies, the threat of malnutrition due to the coronavirus is real. According to Washington Post Staff (2021), in the United States, one in seven adults report not having enough food in their households. Globally, people that are already struggling from food insecurity, climate change, social inequality, conflicts, and wars, face even more challenges caused by the pandemic. As Giuliani-Hoffman (2020) claims, a report by Oxfam suggests that 12,000 people could die of hunger due to COVID-19 daily by the end of the year. Countries with alarming food security situations and vulnerable supply chains can expect more severe consequences of the current regulations. Certain social groups are more exposed to the threat of hunger. Refugees a
