Poverty alert
The Evangelical Alliance is warning that
Covid-19 will plunge more of the world
into poverty.
Catherine Da Souza
said:
‘The World
Bank defines extreme poverty as those living
on less than the equivalent of £1.55 a day
and they estimate that 49 million people will
be pushed into extreme poverty because of
the impact of Covid-19. This will be the first
increase in global poverty since 1998.’
