2. the vast majority collects most of its basic foods needs either by food or cash transfers. In comparison in Somalia, Ethiopia is also experiencing the worst drought within these past thirty years. Save the Children in January 2015 projected that roughly 2.9 million people were suffering from food security and has risen to over 10 million within a course of a year. Similarly to Somalia, Ethiopia’s main source of income is livestock and agriculture; however, due to the lack of rain it has left millions with no source of food (leads to malnutrition) or income. Ethiopia’s government allocated 297 million dollars in assistance to relieve efforts within the country . However, the 297 million dollars in assistance is not enough and it’s projected that an approximation of 1.4 billion dollars is needed to provide adequate food, shelter, and other resources to relieve efforts in Ethiopia.

Living in Dallas Texas is not so bad. I lived in an apartment building that was not so big, but the worst part was that there were tons of roaches. So we decided to move to Frisco.Also my dad has a job there. As the last few days of school came we started packing. It was hard because my brother was giving a hard time to my Mom. On the last day of school we left to go home. We had a scheduled flight to Puerto Rico to visit some relatives. After we came back we went to Houston to visit my cousins. They stayed with us for a month in my house, then after days of packing they left and we started packing. We did a lot of shopping P.S I HATE SHOPPING oh and P.P.S. I only like shopping if it's for me. We had most of the stuff in backpacks & suitcases,

At this moment in sub-Saharan Africa, every 3 seconds a child under five dies from AIDS and hunger, and more than 90 percent of the people are suffering long term malnourishment. (World Health Organization) In addition to this, measles are taking the life of a boy almost every minute, when a measles vaccine cost less than $1. (WHO, World Health Organization) "Things are moving in the wrong direction," says Marc Cohen (International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) Washington). "If we look at sub-Saharan Africa as a whole, all the projections are that poverty and hunger are going to get worse." There are 31.1 million food-deprived masses, scattered across the region surrounding Ethiopia, and elsewhere. (The Christian Science Monitor,

Environmental factors are a factor that affect living and nonliving organisms and have participated in Ethiopia’s problem in food deficiency and food insecurity. A large environmental factor that can affect food deficiency and food insecurity is natural hazards and disasters. These can include droughts and floods which can upset agricultural production. For example, grain production and stocks are very low and droughts have hit harvests in grain-producing areas around the world. A more specific example for Ethiopia is that because of Ethiopia’s seasonal rainfall from mid-June to mid-September, soil erosion and

In Mexico, around forty five percent of its one hundred and eighteen million people face food shortages or hunger. In south America, nearly ten million Peruvians suffer from hunger; that is nearly one-third of the population. In many countries around the world, it is the rural poor who suffer most. Hunger and disease, is usually in close combination and often precipitated by natural disasters or war, have plagued humankind throughout history. People need nutrition to be strong and to be able to go to school or work, but without any healthy food that cannot happen. Their bodies cannot process the activities or material they are shown due to lack of nutrients that you get from healthy sustenance. therefore, they are not able to get a good paying job or education for later in their future. World hunger is a problem that must be addressed as seen through illness,

In conclusion hunger is not a problem that only the United States of America deals with. This is a problem the whole world is dealing with some more than others.

It’s safe to say that the War on Drugs is up in the conversation for being one of America’s biggest problems. It accounts for 320 billion dollars just from America alone (Headquarters, Drug policy). Obviously when we think about drugs we don’t think about happy things, instead we think about death, murder, and other gruesome thoughts. Latin America has had there problems with drugs, and it’s gotten so bad to the point that America and other neighboring countries have to step in and try to save the citizens of these countries. Latin America is known to be in the middle of the whole drug war(Staff, History). Peru, Bolivia, and Columbia were the main 3 countries that started this mess that is known as the “Drug War”(Staff, History). This war is so huge and deadly that almost every single country in the world is somehow involved in this. There are many reasons why America shouldn’t engage in the War on Drugs such as the financial purposes, and other reasons for the citizens of our country.

Poverty and hunger is a common social issue that affects a large percentage of the world population, and has troubled nations all over the world for thousands of years. It’s an issue that we can experience every day without realizing it.

Ethiopia`s population is 86.5 million and 44% of the population live under poverty. The country is located in the east-central Africa. It is covered mainly by mountains and lowlands. In the rural areas more people experience poverty than in the urban areas. In the countryside most of the people are farming, but the land is most of the time not enough to produce enough food for their family. There is also a big problem with the absence of skilful farmers. Most of the farmers use the same method as their grandparents. They don`t have modern machines and the lack of resources that are necessary in running the farm makes their life harder. The government of Ethiopia doesn`t have enough money to help for the farmers and provide them the

“ Africa has been suffering food crisis for years and years. Throughout all the recurring droughts that just come naturally, it is very difficult for Africans to grow food. In America alone we have given Africa billions and billions of dollars for food aid.
