Summary
This article discussed how violence plays a vital role in
World Hunger. This is a major problem in the Central African Republic. With the
United Nations World Food Programme providing twenty- seven percent of necessary
supplies to nourish the hungry, it leaves millions of people still in a
detrimental need for food. The World Food Programme stated that the timing of
providing Food aid is just as critical as the cost for funding. Weather, being
a key factor, floods roads which makes food distribution extremely difficult in
the summer months. Another factor is that food stocks experience a dramatic
decrease around this same time. The battling and wars occurring in the Central
African Republic results in food having to be airlifted to its desired
location. Because of this, funding is dramatically increased. Even with this
being a tremendous issue, the WFP’s workers are still dedicated and devoted to
their works, stating that the food has the ability to save adolescents from the
devastating effects of malnutrition.
Analysis
As obvious, world hunger is a global issue. The only way to
diminish it is through globalization; the interaction of people or nations
through a communication means. The world is doing a pretty good job of
connecting with nations of poverty to supply food by any means. Due to low
socioeconomic statuses and failing economics, regions like the Central African Republic
are unable to satisfy their own country’s hunger. I couldn’t imagine living in
absolute poverty because I have always had everything handed to me. Living in
the United States has made me realize how fortunate I am, opposed to countries
where fighting can mean that I won’t be able to eat.
