CNA Staff, May 23, 2020 / 03:59 pm (CNA).- As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens to worsen an already tenuous food situation for millions across the globe, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has announced a campaign to help address global hunger.
“Now is the time for us to lead the way forward to ensure that these communities have the support they need to make it through this crisis and beyond,” said CRS president and CEO Sean Callahan this week.
“If we don’t provide adequate food to children now, it will impact them for the rest of their lives.”
Catholic Relief Services warned that a food crisis already existed in many countries before the coronavirus pandemic hit. Now, unemployment, lockdowns, heightened food prices, and supply disruptions have made it even more difficult for impoverished families in many areas to get food.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is running ads against seven House Republicans who represent districts won by President-elect Joe Biden on Nov. 3 and voted against the single article of impeachment approved this week.

Cole Leiter, a DCCC spokesman, said in a statement that opposing impeachment after the violent ransacking of the Capitol meant to overturn the 2020 election will cost Republicans their jobs in the 2022 midterm elections.

Exit poll: Nation in a funk turns to Republicans WASHINGTON The glum voters who handed Republicans full control of Congress on Tuesday feel the U.S. is stagnating under President Barack Obama’s leadership but put little faith in politicians of either party. Most voters leaving polling places said they don’t have much trust in government, feel the nation is off on the wrong track and believe life will be worse for the next generation. Those feeling pessimistic were more likely to vote for Republican congressional candidates. Above all, voters worried about the economy, preliminary exit polls show. That also helped Republicans take control of the Senate and add to their dominance in the House.
