Pope Francis Urges Increased Commitment To The Fight For Zero Hunger (For the Media)

The first visit by the Pope to the World Food Programme is a powerful and timely spotlight on the urgent need to end hunger. His Holiness Pope Francis has changed the conversation on issues of critical importance such as climate change and refugees and he has spoken out about the “global scandal” of hunger. We welcome him drawing greater attention to the issue of hunger that affects 1 in 9 people on the planet.
