Haitian mothers are forced to choose which children will live or die due to food shortage. They are so desperate for food that many mothers wait to name their newborn because they know infants will die of malnutrition. Food crises erupted across the globe this year in countries such as Egypt and India also United States also warned that they were running out of food because of unprecedented demand. The news from the World Food Program says: “A child dies of hunger every six seconds, and huger now kills more people every year than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined”. As World Hunger Relief Week is marked, more people are asking: Why are so many people starving and what, if anything, can be done to eradicate hunger?

    • It seems like we will see more of this due to humankind complacency and companies like Monsanto who seem to hope that they can eliminate "over population" by poisoning us daily with their many evil arms! And we the people don't do a ding-dang thing to stop it! So sad.
