The cause of most hunger stems from some disruption in a population’s food distribution—whether resulting from poverty, war, or the deliberate denial of food to populations as a weapon or political tool. Ending acute or chronic hunger is first and foremost a political endeavor. While the treatment of acute malnutrition requires a very technical medical response in an emergency setting, basic improvements in a community’s water and sanitation infrastructure, for instance, can help ensure greater long-term health and food security.

after an earthquake it may be very hard to get aid to remote areas and many people die. This will always happen no matter how much money people throw at the problem. |
