22,000 children die each day due to conditions of poverty
60 percent of the world's hungry are women
This year, nearly 9 million children younger than five years old
will die needlessly, more than half from hunger-related causes.
Few of these deaths are related to outright starvation, but rather to common illnesses (such as diarrhea, malaria and
measles) that move in on vulnerable children whose bodies have been weakened by hunger.
Freedom from Hunger concentrates its services in the world's
poorest nations, where an overwhelming 32% are moderately
to severely stunted—seriously below normal height for one's
age.
