EU Bracing For A Massive Migration Crisis From The Middle East And Africa Caused By The Global Food Crisis

 

Daily Mail: Europe faces huge surge in migration from Middle East and Africa due to food crisis created by war in Ukraine, EU warns 

* Around 20million tonnes of grain are currently blocked in Ukrainian ports 

* Food prices have rocketed which could fuel a migration wave towards Europe 

* Putin has been accused of deliberately weaponizing food supplies 

Europe is facing a huge migration wave from the Middle East and Africa because of the food crisis aggravated by the war in Ukraine, the EU has warned. 

Ukraine is one of the biggest grain exporters in the world but production and dispatch have been severely affected by Putin's barbaric invasion. 

Around 20million tonnes of grain from last year's harvest are blocked in Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea.

WNU Editor: The EU is fixated on exporting Ukraine grain to alleviate the global food crisis. But many are predicting that Ukraine itself is going to face serious food shortages this winter because of the war. IMHO this is the wrong time for Ukraine to export its food stocks. 

And what makes the EU position on food even more absurd are the anti-farm policies that we are seeing in places like the Netherlands and Poland where farmers are being pressured to cut food production to meet climate change goals. 

The truth is that the global food crisis has been long in the making, and the cost to feed oneself is no longer affordable for hundreds of millions of people around the world. So face with the option of staying put and starving, or going to where there is food, it should then surprise no one that people will be going to where the food is.
