World Food Program Awarded The Nobel Peace Prize
This year, the World Food Program was granted 2020 Nobel Peace Prize.
The Nobel Committee says that the Covid pandemic has added to the hunger faced by a great many individuals around the globe and have approached the governments to guarantee that WFP and other guide associations get the requisite monetary help which is important to take care of them.
There was no deficiency of causes or candidates on the current year's rundown, with a total of 211 people and 107 associations assigned ahead of the February 1 deadline. The World Food Program, on Friday won the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its endeavors and unremitting efforts to combat hunger and food insecurity around the world. The declaration was made in Oslo by Berit Reiss-Andersen, the chair of the Nobel Committee.
Nonetheless, the Norwegian Nobel Committee keeps us in outright mystery about whom it favors for ostensibly the world's most esteemed prize. The honor accompanies a 10-milion Krona (financial unit of Sweden )($1.1 million) money prize and a gold medal to be presented at a service in Oslo, Norway, on December 10,2020 the anniversary of prize originator, Alfred Nobel's demise. The current year's function will be downsized because of the pandemic.
On Monday, the Nobel Committee awarded the prize for physiology and medicine for discovering the liver-ravaging hepatitis C virus. Tuesday’s prize for physics honored breakthroughs in understanding the mysteries of cosmic black holes, and the chemistry prize on Wednesday went to scientists behind a powerful gene-editing tool. The literature prize was awarded to American poet Louise Glück on Thursday for her “candid and uncompromising” work.
Still to come, one week from now is the prize for exceptional work in the field of economics and financial aspects.
