This year’s Nobel Peace Prize went to the United Nations World Food Program. The Nobel Committee announced the reason for the selection, saying that the World Food Program played an important role in eradicating hunger and maintaining peace in conflict zones, as well as demonstrating an impressive ability to respond to Corona 19. Reporter Cho Seung-hee reports. The Nobel Committee said the World Food Program was selected for the Peace Prize and said it has made efforts to eradicate hunger, maintain peace in conflict areas and prevent the use of hunger as a weapon of war and conflict. The Nobel Committee also highlighted that the World Food Program has demonstrated an impressive ability to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and that food is the best vaccine. In fact, the Corona 19 pandemic has caused a sharp increase in hunger victims around the world. In the case of poor African countries such as Yemen, Congo, South Sudan, and Burkina Faso, violent conflict and Corona 19 overlap, leaving residents facing a crisis of extreme hunger. The Secretary General of the World Food Program awarded the Peace Prize to employees working in the field. It is reported that 211 individuals and 107 institutions were nominated for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize nominations. The World Food Program will receive a Peace Prize medal and a certificate of approximately 1.3 billion won in our money. It is known that the award ceremony, which will be held on the anniversary of Alfred Nobel on December 10, will be held in size or in line according to the situation of Corona 19.
