9.08 The coronavirus pandemic can drive 100 million people into extreme poverty
The crisis of the coronavirus can push 100 million people into extreme poverty around the world, more than previously estimated, warned on Thursday the president of the World Bank , David Malpass , in an interview with AFP.
The Washington- based development institution estimates that between 70 million and 100 million people could fall into extreme poverty, and "that number could rise" if the pandemic worsens or lasts longer, he said. The previous estimate was 60 million people.
Malpass said the deterioration is due to a combination of job losses during the health crisis and supply problems that hinder access to food. "All this contributes to that people fall back into extreme poverty the longer the economic crisis persists," he explains.

King Mohamed VI warned today that Morocco could return to confinement in the face of "the deterioration of the health situation, which does not invite optimism", and "the exponential multiplication of cases of infection" since the deconfinement measures began.
The monarch dedicated the speech he makes annually on the occasion of the King and People's Revolution - which commemorates the exile of his grandfather Mohamed V and the struggle for independence - to the situation in the country after the pandemic, and took the opportunity to recriminate the cases of laxism.
"The reality is that an important segment of the population does not respect the preventive health measures adopted by the public powers (...); some have confused the lack of definition with the end of the disease and others exhibit inadmissible carelessness and relaxation", said.
