Hunger

Food is the very substance that human beings survive on. Without it, humans cannot survive. But the worst effect of malnutrition and starvation is death. The sustenance of life is surprisingly in abundance yet it's just not getting to the people who need it most. Here are some facts about world hunger:-

In Sub-Saharan Africa, 200 million people go hungry every day.
250 million people have died of hunger-related causes in the last 25 years--roughly 10 million each year.
Land degradation from deforestation, waste disposal and overuse of fertilizers has rendered one third of the earth's soil unfit for growing food.
1 in 5 people worldwide go to bed hungry each night.
Each day, 19,000 people die of hunger and hunger-related diseases. That is 13 people every minute of every hour of every day.
