Fed up with hunger
Worldwide 925 million people go hungry every day and 7,000 children die from hunger and malnutrition.
Hunger is not a natural phenomenon; it has social, economic and political causes. It is a global tragedy, the biggest drama is the fact that it chould be avoided. It is time to put an end to this scandal. Let us meet this challenge.
