9. SOUNDBITE (English) David Beasley, Executive Director of the UN's World Food Program:
"There's been unprecedented profits made during the height of COVID, an average of $5.2 billion on every day net worth increase and our needs right now are extra $68 billion that we need. We are only asking for one to two days worth of their net worth increases. Is that too much to ask to stabilise the world against famine, destabilisation and mass migrations?"

11. SOUNDBITE (English) David Beasley, Executive Director of the UN's World Food Program:
"(Elon) Musk put $6 billion into a foundation, but everybody thought it came to us, but we haven't gotten any of it yet. So I'm hopeful. You know, I don't know what it's going to take. We're trying every angle, you know, Elon, we need your help, brother and (Jeff) Bezos, he's been stepping up and putting some money out there and hadn't come to us directly. But we're talking with them now. But there's more than two mega billionaires out there, there dozens and dozens of billionaires out there that are worth $50, $75 billion and my gosh, you know, the world's in trouble. I mean, the world is in real serious trouble. This is not rhetoric. Step up now because the world needs you."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) David Beasley, Executive Director of the UN's World Food Program:
"We now have 325 million people marching to starvation around the world. Not going to bed hungry. That's 800 and something million. People that are in serious food insecurity that are on the brink of famine? We have 49 million knocking on famine's door right now in 43 countries. I could tell you which 43 countries very well will have famine, destabilisation and mass migration."

15. SOUNDBITE (English) David Beasley, Executive Director of the UN's World Food Program:
"There's only one solution to getting the food, the grains out of Ukraine. It's the ports, the ports in the Odesa region. They grow enough food to feed 400 million people. That's off the market and the only way you get it back into the market is the ports have to be opened back. You can't truck enough out of Ukraine. The amount of trucks is just a tip, a drop in the ocean. The only way are the ports. We've got to get the ports open and you got to get them open in the next 60 days. Why? Because the harvest is again in July and August."

17. SOUNDBITE (English) David Beasley, Executive Director of the UN's World Food Program:
"Russia, Ukraine, everybody in the world has got to come together, say there's a humanitarian crisis around the world but it's not going to be just humanitarian. It's going to be a global food crisis. If we don't get those ports open, you will be talking about a food pricing problem over the next 10 to 12 months, but next year, it's going to be a food availability problem and that is going to be hell on earth."
