Currently more than 735 million people live in extreme poverty, on less than $1.90 a day. This means 12% of THE POPULATION in the world suffers fron POVERTY. What do you think about these figures and this catastrophic situation?

The covid19 pandemic highly contributed to this. Only the super rich can help poor people around the world. Including the government of course.

Poverty is very hard to discuss and to explain. The figures you showed / said was just only a brief estimation I guess, it will be a lot more if the whole world and country was counted. A lot of our politicians are actually looking for ways to lessen poverty , jobs, services I think would help in some.

12% is out of all the people in the world; obviously in some poor countries the numbers are a lot higher ! As for politicians- sadly I've lost faith in them cause they make empty promises;I do hope to see some change one day. Basically the change depends on us
