The first session of the two-day G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, concluded with the official launch of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, an initiative led by Brazilian President Luiz Ignacio Lula Da Silva, that aims to help 500 million people. VOA's Celia Mendoza has more. The alliance has 148 founding members. The project, a personal initiative of Lula, is ambitious and aims to eradicate hunger and poverty by 2030, as well as reduce inequalities. The challenge is enormous since 733 million people suffered from hunger in 2023, according to the latest report presented in July by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. https://www.voanews.com/a/g20-social-discusses-goal-of-lifting-600-million-people-out-of-poverty-by-2030/7866369.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
