But what about the bankers? They desperately need their bonuses and for everyone to stop picking on them. So tens of millions die. At least the bonuses are being salvaged. Can't the poor, sick and dying think more about others? They can be so selfish sometimes.

Speaking at a news conference in Berlin, Zoellick said the World Bank estimated that a further 64 million people would fall into extreme poverty between 2009 and 2010 as a result of the crisis.

"We continue to see negative fallout from the economic crisis," Zoellick told a news conference in Berlin.

"For developed countries, it is a matter of jobs and economic growth. For too many poor countries, it is the searing pain of millions going hungry, getting sick, with the impact being felt on a generation of children for many years."
