*[Enwl-eng] One move could relieve extreme poverty for millions

[ENWL]

                        We have a moral obligation to the least fortunate among us.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        Former Colonies Were Forced to Take On Debt. As a Quarter of a Billion People Face Extreme Poverty, Canceling Debts Could Help

                        The pandemic has pushed tens of millions of people into extreme poverty around the world. On top of that, Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine has contributed to rising energy prices and food costs due to disrupted grain imports. And these things have dire consequences for the world's poorest, most vulnerable people.



                        According to Oxfam, as many as 250+ million people are at risk of being pushed into extreme poverty, and 28 million more are likely to be malnourished. But loans given to poor former colonies have made it almost impossible for national governments to adequately address the crisis. By canceling debt repayments for this year and next, the World Bank could help countries prevent extreme poverty and hunger. Sign the petition!



                        The UN defines extreme poverty as living on less than $1.90 per day. Most of us are privileged enough to not even have a concept of what that looks like – but it is bleak. Possibly easier to visualize is the effects of malnutrition, since all of us know what hunger feels like – although chronic hunger, which affects hundreds of millions of people, is a different beast. Approximately 3 million children die every year from malnutrition. This is completely unacceptable and preventable. Sign the petition now to demand that the World Bank cancel debt repayments for this year and next! 
                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        P.S. By canceling debt repayments for this year and next, the World Bank can stop the needless suffering of an unthinkable number of human beings. Sign the petition!
