And what did he think was the root cause? It wasn't because western nations suddenly stopped the gravy train.
The title of his talk was “Protection of civilians from conflict-induced hunger”.

Speaking at an online briefing broadcast by the UN on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, Beasley highlighted the fact that there are CURRENTLY 821 million food-insecure people in the world. “If we don’t prepare and act now, to secure access, avoid funding shortfalls and disruptions to trade,” he said, the result could be a “humanitarian catastrophe … in a short few months”.
Beasley added: “Millions of civilians living in conflict-scarred nations, including many women and children, face being pushed to the brink of starvation, with the spectre of famine a very real and dangerous possibility.”
His talked was based on the WFP report

The greatest worry is for people living in conflict zones and those forced from their homes and into refugee camps, with countries of concern including northeastern Nigeria, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
“These are the people I’m most worried about,” said Husain. “They did not need COVID-19. Even without it their lives were hanging by a thread. They literally depend on us for their lives. If we cannot get to them for any reason they end up paying the ultimate price. We need to prioritize the people and make sure we’re there. Because if it’s not us, it’s no one else.”
It's not about people routinely subsisting on the western gravy train.

Read it again. It does.
It said there were already 135 million people. Now there are 265 million people.
Stop playing dumb. You're not dumb. It doesn't suit you.

One (model) stands out for the fact that it is not associated with a big-name institution. Produced by independent data scientist Youyang Gu, it has been tracking actual U.S. cases and deaths better than many.
Gu’s model projects that U.S. Covid-19 deaths by early August could be as low as 88,217 and as high as 293,381, with a most likely toll of 150,760.
With U.S. deaths from Covid-19 passing 61,000 this week, the question is as difficult as ever: Are these large numbers or small numbers?
So far this season, flu deaths total 24,000 to 62,000 (data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are estimates with wide uncertainties). Whether you think a tally as much as 12 times higher is a tragedy or merely unfortunate is a personal call. For comparison, about 8,000 Americans die every day from, almost overwhelmingly, diseases and other natural causes. Those, of course, haven’t stopped; Covid-19 deaths are in addition to those ...

Singapore was among the countries that originally seemed to have SAS-COV-2 well under control. Now, looking at 91-DIVOC, it seems to be on an unstoppable explosion, albeit at low levels compared to other countries. But low numbers are deceiving, as even the most devastated countries started at low levels. Direction is important!
(Singapore's total cases on a log scale are on an steep slope upward with no 'bend' visible.) Or, as headlined April 20, 2020 " Singapore tops Southeast Asia in terms of COVID-19 infections, with a record 1,426 cases announced on April 20 raising its total to 8,014."

Last month, it appeared that Singapore had managed to keep a lid on coronavirus infections through a system that included exhaustive contact tracing, early travel restrictions and strict social distancing measures. Though it was one of the worst-hit places in the early stages of the pandemic, the country managed to keep cases to fewer than 390 and had zero deaths until March 21, nearly two months after it reported its first coronavirus infection.
Until early April, Singapore was one of a few countries that refrained from closing schools, pointing to early research that suggested children aren't as vulnerable to the COVID-19 disease as adults, even as more than 150 countries had shut down their educational institutions.
Since then, Singapore's confirmed cases have risen dramatically.
The semi-lockdown came after Singapore witnessed an explosion of confirmed coronavirus cases, from 106 infections on March 1 to 1,000 on April 1. Those figures indicate most infections were transmitted locally and that a growing number of cases have no known links to confirmed patients.

South Korea, Vietnam, and Taiwan still have the virus well-controlled; Japan like Singapore has experienced a sudden sustained spike, albeit, like Singapore, at low levels relative to most countries.

Next to catch up to: France and Italy.
GO SWEDEN!
YOU CAN DO IT!

Meanwhile, in the UK, the number of deaths/MM has taken a significant jump up in that last update. I find that unusual so far in their epidemic, and with so many cases already counted it must mean a very large increase in absolute numbers.
Every time I see an increase like that, I wonder what happened a month or so beforehand. Was there a significant holiday? Or have they just gotten better at counting Covid-19 deaths?
