<p>The Secretary of State was incredibly pleased to be invited to write a foreword
to the Global Nutrition Report this year. As highlighted in the State of Food Security
and Nutrition in the World report launched yesterday, progress to end hunger and malnutrition
by 2030 remains off-track and is set to stall further in the face of COVID-19. The
UK remains committed to preventing and treating malnutrition as part of our commitment
to end the preventable deaths of mothers, newborns and children and DFID has contributed
£15 million of UK aid to the World Food Programme’s global COVID-19 response. In addition,
I’m pleased to say that the RAF has now flown four UK aid-funded flights in support
of WFP’s COVID-19 response plan.</p>
