    1. Political Conditions Cause World Hunger
    War is a political cause for hunger. War slows or stops food production
    and marketing. Food supplies are often taken and used for soldiers during
    war, crop cycles are interrupted, seeds and livestock are consumed
    in desperation, and children suffer lasting health damage as a result of
    insufficient food. Even if fighting never occurs, heavy military spending
    takes away from food production, education, and health care.
    2. Economic Conditions Cause World Hunger
    One of the main causes of hunger is poverty. Most of the people
    who are hungry do not have enough money to purchase the food
    they need. The poorest and most food-insecure people live in Africa,
    while the largest number of continually undernourished people live in the
    Asia-Pacific region. Hunger is also especially severe in South Asia,
    where growing poverty, debt, economic decline, poor terms of trade,
    fast population growth, unfavorable weather, war, and government
    collapse have all contributed to the continent’s food problems. In the
    United States, the share of the population facing hunger has risen
    because of poor economic conditions. But, hunger in wealthy nations
    is not as severe or widespread as in developing countries.
    3. Environmental Conditions Cause World Hunger
    Hunger is also caused by environmental problems. Fresh water, land,
    forests, and fisheries are being used so much that they are losing
    their resources. In trying to use the environmental resources,
    poor and hungry people, lacking economic and political power, have
    become even more affected by hunger. This is true especially in countries
    where property ownership is not fair, and poor families are forced
    to move onto unstable land and to overcrowded cities.

    A state agency found 17 children all under the age of 10 living without food or a working toilet in single-residence home in southwest Albuquerque. They were living in the home with six adults.
    no food in the pantry or refrigerator, a strong odor of human excrement as well as a nonworking toilet. There were few pieces of furniture, clothing or food in the home.
    The investigator said that "Several of the children were malnourished and in need of antibiotics for untreated and ongoing sinus infections," investigators said in the complaint. "A couple of the younger children needed emergency dental surgery due to their (rotted teeth)."
    The investigator also mentioned that many of the school-aged children were "developmentally behind for their age groups. Several can't read or write."
    
    According to another child, the two older kids, ages 8 and 9, were "made to take care and feed the rest of the children."

    Action Against Hunger currently supports 33 nutrition centers in Kanem and Bahr El Ghazal and is working with the Chadian Ministry of Health to extend its treatment programs to an additional 10 health centers in areas with soaring malnutrition rates.
    Insufficient rainfall over the past two years has help push nearly two-thirds of households into food insecurity.

    Global hunger now afflicts more than a billion people worldwide. Severe acute malnutrition, however, is the more immediate killer: it threatens the lives of 19 million children. Every year at least 3.5 million of them die from malnutrition-related causes. From rural mountain villages to the confines of refugee camps to ethnically divided cities, Action Against Hunger treats and prevents malnutrition in over 40 countries around the world. Our programs are launched most often during times of crisis and focus on the most vulnerable, including young children and women who are pregnant or nursing.
