THE ARTICLE
In the twenty-first century, hunger and a lack of food still kill six
million children a year. This is according to a new report by the UN Food and
Agriculture Organization. Another depressing fact from the report is that in
sub-Saharan Africa, there are more children dying from starvation today than in
the 1990s. Hunger and malnutrition are the main reasons for poverty,
illiteracy, disease and deaths in developing countries. The report says the
developed world has not provided enough aid to the hungry. Many children die
every day from easily preventable diseases such as diarrhea, malaria and
measles.
The UN food agency said it is unlikely to meet its goal of cutting in
half the number of hungry people in the world by 2015. This target was made by
the World Food Summit in 1996 and boosted by the Millennium Development Goals
in 2000. Countries that joined these programs have been slow to deliver on
their promises of aid. The only bright spot in the gloomy report was for South
America. Asia too has a good chance of reaching targets. Agency boss Jacques
Diouf stated: “Most, if not all of the ... targets can be reached, but only if
efforts are redoubled and refocused and priority given to agriculture.”
