How can we take this issue as simple as ABC ? |
About 21,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every four seconds, as you can see on this display. Sadly, it is children who die most often.
Yet there is plenty of food in the world for everyone. The problem is that hungry people are trapped in severe poverty. They lack the money to buy enough food to nourish themselves. Being constantly malnourished, they become weaker and often sick. This makes them increasingly less able to work, which then makes them even poorer and hungrier. This downward spiral often continues until death for them and their families.

The effects of poverty are the same as the consequences of not gratifying one's needs satisfactorily. Poor people are often emaciated and unwell. And they frequently don't live as long they can under standard conditions. Some usual effects of poverty are:
- Lack of opportunity
- Mental and physical aliments
- Drug abuse and addiction
- Increase in Crimes
- Child and woman abuse
- Homelessness
- Debt Pressures
- Educational deprivation
