World Hunger and Poverty
Author And Page Information
We often hear about people’s desire to solve world hunger, or to be able to feed the world and help alleviate the suffering associated with it.
However, meaningful long-term alleviation to hunger is rooted in the alleviation of poverty, as poverty leads to hunger. World hunger is a terrible symptom of world poverty. If efforts are only directed at providing food, or improving food production or distribution, then the structural root causes that create hunger, poverty and dependency would still remain. And so while continuous effort, resources and energies are deployed to relieve hunger through these technical measures, the political causes require political solutions as well
Reflection :
Everybody knows that here are many causes and effects of poverty , and the most obvious effect is hunger. Did you saw an images of a child's bloated belly or a mother searching through garbage trying to find food to have something to eat? Hunger and malnutrition affect to the people in the country and many die every day from these preventable causes. Yet we know that there is many food in the world for everyone but the problem is the hungry people are trapped themselves in poverty, they lack the money to buy food for themselves . Being malnourished , they become sick.Most of the hungry countries are located in Africa , I saw pictures on Facebook in which people and children are very skinny that bones are already visible and has big eyes .It breaks my heart a lot and I feel pity to them. War has caused their poverty crops to be lost, money put towards no good, and children to lose their parents.
It is true the poverty is a main cause of world hunger but it isn't the only cause. If the economy was serving the people and not the other way around then more people would have the money needed to buy food to live from day to day. And if greedy governments gave some of he people money or food they would have money to buy food.
I can say that I am so blessed in my life right now. We should have patience and contented of what God has given to us. Furthermore to believe in God he will help us in many ways , everyday is a blessing to us that we should thanks to him.
