British actor and filmmaker Idris Elba launched a new United Nations fund on April 20 to help farmers in poorer nations, calling on richer economies to provide aid to prevent “needless hunger and suffering” stemming from the CCP virus pandemic.

Elba and his wife, model and activist Sabrina Dhowre Elba, gave their support to a fund set up by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), to help stop economic shocks caused by COVID-19 triggering a global food crisis.
