International Monetary Fund chief Kristalina Georgieva on Thursday drew attention to the suffering in Yemen and Sudan, both plagued by civil wars and often overshadowed by the plight of other countries.
"When we have these highly visible wars like the one in Ukraine, like the one in Gaza... they overshadow the pain and suffering that is happening in other places," Georgieva said during a press conference.
Turning to the global economy, Georgieva again urged fiscal restraint in order for governments be ready for the next big crisis.
The IMF has been encouraging governments to increase their tax revenues to invest in the fight against global warming.
She added: "We recognize one size does not fit all... and the speed of consolidation would vary depending on country circumstances.
