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.

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.
