Background
- "Major hunger problems have
occurred throughout history, leaving millions of people dead or
suffering from the effects of hunger. "
|
|
|
Problem - "In the Asian,
African and Latin American countries, well over 500 million people are
living in what the World Bank has called "absolute poverty".
Every year 15 million children die of hunger.
For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could
eat lunch every day for 5 years.
Throughout the 1990's more than 100 million children will die from
illness and starvation.
The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is
well-fed, one-third is under-fed one-third is starving- Since you've
entered this site at least 200 people have died of starvation. Over 4
million will die this year."
