According to Al Jazeera, Jorge Moreira da Silva, head of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), has called on the United States and Iran to immediately allow fertilizer shipments to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and to seek a limited, temporary solution outside of comprehensive agreement negotiations. He stated that five fertilizer vessels are needed to pass through daily; if the planting season continues to be missed, up to 45 million people could face severe acute food insecurity. The above represents his call to action and risk assessment.
