Every 3.6 seconds, one person dies of hunger. Most of the time this hunger is not caused by famine, but by disaster, war or the ravages of extreme poverty. Hunger is insidious; not only does it destroy healthy bodies, but it starves communities of able-bodied workers and drives families deeper into poverty.
