Every single night, 925 million people go to bed starving. This number, which has increased in past years due to a spike in food prices in 2007-2008, is obnoxious. In a world of plenty, how is it that so many have to suffer through malnutrition and hunger pains on a daily basis?
This is the question, the key focus of the Hunger Report and the many other programs that want to stop the number of malnourished kids.
“But with a child dying every six seconds because of under-nourishment related problems, hunger remains the world's largest tragedy and scandal,” said FAO Director-General Jacques Diouf. “This is absolutely unacceptable”. I agree. Can you imagine, yourself malnourished, hungry, in pain. Many children live like that all their life untill they end up dieing unless someone, like you can help them. Donate money, donate food, do anything it takes to help. Put yourself in their position and imagine what it would feel like if you were left out there to die!
