The World Bank has warned of a potential “human catastrophe” from a food crisis resulting from the full-scale invasion by Russian forces in Ukraine.

World Bank President David Malpass told the BBC at the International Monetary Fund–World Bank spring meetings in Washington that record food prices could see hundreds of millions of people forced into poverty if the conflict in Ukraine continues.
