Today, November 5, the presidential elections take place in the United States with minimal differences in the polls for the two contenders, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, who have had a campaign full of doubts, confrontations and accusations.

Issues such as abortion, economic stability and the Latino vote have marked the rough campaign between Trump and Harris. States such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada or Arizona as well as North Carolina and Georgia have become key in view of the dynamics of the polls.

In this sense, according to rtve.es, Harris is slightly ahead in Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada, while Trump shows a similar advantage in Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia. And in the whole process, Pennsylvania is the key state.

Voters, for their part, have expressed their fear and uncertainty regarding these elections, considering the political and social polarization that they have revived.

It is necessary to wait until the end of today’s vote to find out who will be the new President of the United States. For now, there are still pending answers to questions that were not addressed in the Trump-Harris debates, such as the situation of migrants and Latinos in the United States, policies to address the country’s economic situation, or the next restrictions on Chinese technologies.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Multidimensional Poverty Report 2024, prepared together with the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), indicates that 1.1 billion people are affected by extreme poverty and of these, some 500 million are in conflict contexts.

UNDP and OPHI highlight that the poverty rate in “conflict-affected countries is three times higher than in countries without conflict.”

The research, covering 112 countries and 6.3 billion people, provides shocking data on poverty in countries with conflict and war.

Achim Steiner, UNDP Administrator, said: “Conflicts have intensified and multiplied in recent years, reaching new records in casualties, displacing millions of people and causing major disruption to their lives and livelihoods.”

Steiner believes that resources are needed to support these populations in extreme poverty “and access to specialized interventions in development and early recovery to break the cycle of poverty and crises,” particularly in countries at war.

In nations immersed in conflict, “more than one in four poor people do not have access to electricity, compared to just over one in twenty in more stable regions. Similar disparities are observed in areas such as early childhood education (17.7 % versus 4.4 %), nutrition (20.8% versus 7.2 %) and infant mortality (8 % versus 1.1 %),” the report details.
