Starving Children in Niger |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Due to climate, drought, poor agricultural planning, political instability, war, and the mismanagement of natural resources, there were about 820 million undernourished people in the developing world in 2006. Only a small percentage of hunger deaths are caused by starvation. Most hunger-related deaths are the result of chronic malnutrition, which weakens the body's ability to fight diseases. In 2003, almost 16,000 children were dying from hunger-related causes each day. | ||||||
