Hunger affected a large part of Africa with its life-threatening epidemic. The main causes of hunger in Africa are climate change, government, population growth but above all poverty. Many people in Africa do not have jobs and, for this reason, do not have enough money to buy food for their families. As Director-General José Graziano da Silva suggested, the decision to end hunger must be made by society as a whole, not by a single organization or government. Hunger is spreading across Africa, including Niger, where some 2.9 million people face food shortages. . In 1970, sub-Saharan Africa had 18 million malnourished children. In 1997, there were 32 million, according to IFPRI. The global trend, meanwhile, moved in the opposite direction: 203 million hungry children in 1970, compared to 166 million in 1997, according to the IFPRI report (McLaughlin and Purefoy 1). It is astonishing how many children die of hunger in Africa and this percentage continues to increase. Many people around the world are doing their best to help, but it will take more than a few motivated people to make real change. According to Vick, Karl, a study concludes that without a huge investment in irrigation, repairing roads to get crops to market, and conducting crop research, Africa could have as many as 49 million children suffering from malnutrition by 2020, an increase of around 50 percent. Finding something to eat is a daily challenge that Africans face. Most of them depend on plots of one or two acres to survive. Many Africans have to grow their own food, such as cassava or corn, but keep some of it so they can trade or sell it to make money. The few cents they earn are used to buy used clothes to cover...... middle of paper ......es. Up to sixty percent of malnourished children can die in a food crisis, but the rate can increase if hunger problems are not addressed quickly (Palitza 2). Hunger in Africa is a problem that must be addressed as soon as possible. because otherwise, the percentages of sick and malnourished people can become very high. These types of problems cannot be solved by simple organization. Society as a whole must come together to help these poor children because none of them can help themselves and if we have the courage and what it takes to help these children we should help them . Not only children are on the verge of death, but also pregnant women, the elderly and men who need help. Due to climate and lack of water, Africa lacks food. They can't do much about it, but they hope we find a way to end hunger in Africa..
