Breaking point: How the coronavirus pandemic will push fragile states towards catastrophe in 2021
Format
Executive summary
As the UK deals with a new strain of Covid-19 and attention here is rightly focused on the domestic disaster, we must not forget the world’s most fragile states where the pandemic is magnifying existing health and socio-economic challenges with devastating effects.
These places, beset by years of conflict, violence and natural disasters such as drought and flooding, have left millions of displaced and other vulnerable people with poor access to adequate healthcare, water, food and ways to earn an income.
The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), which brings together 14 leading UK aid charities to raise funds for countries without the capacity to respond in the face of a large-scale humanitarian disaster, launched its Coronavirus Appeal in July 2020 when it became clear that Covid-19 was going to be devastating for the world’s poorest communities.
