The decision came out on Friday in Oslo by Berit Reiss-Andersen, the chair of the Nobel Committee. In 2019, the WFP, which is the world’s leading humanitarian organization combating hunger, provided aid to close to 100 million people across 88 countries who suffered from acute food insecurity and hunger.
