DEFINITION OF HUNGER
NO FOOD FOR MANY DAYS! NO MONEY TO BUY IT
u.n.
The periods when people experience severe food insecurity: they can’t eat for many days because of the lack of money, access to food, or other resources.
WITHOUT FOOD I'M NOT HEALTHY, I CAN'T GROW UP, MY BRAIN HAS DIFFICULTIES TO THINK AND TO LEARN...
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE GO HUNGRY?
Prolonged periods of food insecurity can lead to malnutrition.
Most of malnourished children die from common infections. Hunger kills more than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.
Malnutrition occurs when the body lacks sufficient vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients needed.
WHO SUFFERS FROM FOOD INSECURITY?
828 million people
do not have enough food
43.3 million people
are at serious risk of famine.
Many people living in poverty face hunger. The number of people going hungry and suffering from food insecurity rose during the COVID-19 crisis. More than half the populations of Somalia and South Sudan are in need of emergency food assistance. Parts of Yemen, Ethiopia and Nigeria are already in the grip of famine.
WAR
People who live in conflict zones suffer from food insecurity and acute malnutrition. Millions of children in poor countries like Sudan, Syria, Congo and Yemen are at risk of illness or even death due to extreme hunger. Several African and Middle East countries rely on the exports of the wheat and sunflower products, like cooking oil produced by Russia and Ukraine. The current conflict has caused a rise in global grain prices and it is making global hunger levels higher.
Armed groups often control farms, sources of food and water in an attempt to get people to do what they want. Sometimes water is poisoned as punishment.
Conflicts, civil wars, and tension among tribes, religious and political factions often cause people to abandon their homes, lands and jobs out of fear.
Conflicts destroy economies and agricultural production, so they reduce access to food sources and cause an increase food prices.60 percent of the world’s hungry people live in zones affected by conflict.
climate change
Large numbers of people who live in some of the world's poorest regions depend on agriculture for their livelihood.
Global warming causes the melting of the ice caps in icy regions. The melted ice (water) then flows down into streams, rivers, lakes, and seas. The rising of the sea levels causes floods that can destroy towns and farms located near the sea. Because of global warming the temperatures are warmer and cause drought. Climate change is leaving family will less access to clean water to grow food.
natural disasters
Large numbers of people living in regions of extreme poverty have no other source of income except for farming. They are extremely vulnerable because of natural disasters like floods, storms, rains, droughts, heat, and other extreme weather that can destroy and wipe away farms.
Drought cause crop failures and heavy livestock losses in parts of Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya.
poverty and inequalities
Poor families don't have money to buy seeds and the infrastructure to produce more. They produce only what their physical strength allows.
Poor storage facilities in farms lead to pest infestations and mould that ruin crops.
Children end up working on the farms instead of going to school.
People in poor countries are not paid fairly for what they do or what they grow.
