In 2020, the United Nations World Food Program ( WFP ) was awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize for its efforts to fight hunger, to help bring about peace, and to prevent the use of hunger
as a weapon of war. The WFP focuses its work on hunger and food security issues. In 1962,
the organization shipped wheat, sugar and tea to Iran after an earthquake killed 12,000 people.
Since then, it has been helping victims of natural disasters.
Other areas of work include the school meals program which covered about 17 million
children in 2019. The WFP believes that food security and peace go hand in hand. The world
cannot end hunger without putting an end to conflict. In 2010, the WFP successfully resolved a
conflict situation in Central Asia. Several villages on the border of two countries were quarreling
over water resources. The WFP helped to rebuild water supply systems which were shared
across borders and provided food for people who joined in the construction.
In 2017, millions of people in the Arab country of Yemen were close to starving in the war
between rival groups. Some of these groups cut off food supplies to cause fear in the
population. However, WFP workers managed to bring wheat flour to people in need,
preventing the use of hunger as a weapon of war. About 100 million people received WFP
food assistance in 2020. By winning the Nobel Prize, the WFP hopes that it will draw attention to
the problem of hunger.

2020 年,聯合國世界糧食計劃署 (WFP) 因其在戰勝飢餓、幫助實現和平以及防止將飢餓作為戰爭武器而做出的努力獲得諾貝爾和平獎。世界糧食計劃署的工作重點是飢餓和糧食安全問題。 1962 年,在地震造成 12,000 人死亡後,該組織將小麥、糖和茶運往伊朗。從那時起,它一直在幫助自然災害的受害者。其他工作領域包括學校供餐計劃,該計劃在 2019 年覆蓋了約 1700 萬兒童。世界糧食計劃署認為糧食安全與和平齊頭並進。如果不結束衝突,世界就無法結束飢餓。 2010 年,世界糧食計劃署成功解決了中亞地區的衝突局勢。兩國邊界上的幾個村莊正在為水資源爭吵。世界糧食計劃署幫助重建了跨境共享的供水系統,並為參與建設的人們提供了食物。 2017 年,阿拉伯國家葉門的數百萬人在敵對團體之間的戰爭中幾乎挨餓。其中一些團體切斷食品供應以引起人們的恐懼。然而,世界糧食計劃署的工作人員設法將小麥麵粉帶給有需要的人,防止將飢餓作為戰爭武器。 2020 年約有 1 億人獲得了世界糧食計劃署的糧食援助。世界糧食計劃署希望通過獲得諾貝爾獎來引起人們對飢餓問題的關注。為什麼 2020 年諾貝爾和平獎授予世界糧食計劃署?(B) For protecting people from hunger and conflicts(A) 結束戰爭和自然災害(B) 保護人們免於飢餓和衝突(C) 防止在戰爭中使用飢餓和武器(D) 說服人們歡迎糧食援助和衝突
