UN's World Food Programme wins 2020 Nobel Peace prize for combating hunger

 

The World Food Program on Friday won the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its endeavors to battle yearning and food weakness around the world.

The declaration was made in Oslo by Berit Reiss-Andersen, the seat of the Nobel Committee.

The Nobel Committee said that the Covid pandemic has added to the appetite looked by a great many individuals around the globe and approached governments to guarantee that WFP and other guide associations get the budgetary help important to take care of them.

There was no deficiency of causes or competitors on the current year's rundown, with 211 people and 107 associations named in front of the February 1 cutoff time.

Nonetheless, the Norwegian Nobel Committee keeps up outright mystery about whom it favors for seemingly the world's most renowned prize.

The honor accompanies a 10-milion krona ($1.1 million) money prize and a gold decoration to be distributed at a function in Oslo, Norway, on December 10, the commemoration of prize organizer Alfred Nobel's passing. The current year's function will be downsized because of the pandemic.
