Oxfam says world's poorest hardest hit by COVID-19

  • 3 years ago
Billionaires are thriving, while the world's poorest are struggling to pay the bills. A new report reveals it could take more than ten years for the world's poorest to recover from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. And another report showed the 600 billionaires in the US increased their wealth by $434-billion during the country's lockdown between March and May. Oxfam is now calling for higher wealth taxes and protection of workers on the frontline. Oxfam's Inequality Campaign Co-Ordinator in South Africa, Akona Zibonti, has more. Courtesy #DStv403
