Oxfam International’s latest report on global inequality shows how 21,000 people died each day of the pandemic, while the wealthiest collectively got $1.2 billion richer.
Using data from Forbes, the report found the 10 richest people in the world more than doubled their collective wealth since COVID-19 hit in March of 2020.
Meanwhile, the incomes of 99% of the world’s population fell.
Over 160 million people were forced into poverty, and billions of the world’s poorest were denied access to life-saving vaccines.
