more than 1 billion people go to bed hungry

families in the district of Liben days in Ethiopia today face shortages of all types - rain, pasture, food. From last year's drought, combined with the significant increase in food prices, entire communities have been faced with the burden of hunger. In Ethiopia, hunger affects more than 8 million people constantly.
and East Africa and the Sahel, at least 10 million people face a food crisis because of erratic rains, leading to a poor harvest that has a shortage of water. These rains are becoming dangerous, unfortunately, more common as a result direct climate change.
"The drought is like fire," said one of the elders from Ethiopia. "It destroyed every house."

Women are affected more than
are more women than men to suffer from hunger, yet women are part of the solution. They produce between 60% and 80% of food in countries Developing, and have a key role in feeding their families and their communities. But the rural women often lack equal access to land, water, markets, credit, and they are left alone to fight the impacts climate change.

What's on the agenda at the Summit of G8/G20?
This week, leaders of the G8 and G20 meet in Canada, the other part of the world from East Africa and Ethiopia, to discuss the most pressing issues - including, how to tackle global hunger.
We live in a world that has the capacity to produce enough food for all - and yet, more than one billion people worldwide are chronically malnourished. This number is increasing by 800 million only two years ago. The dramatic increase in hunger in recent years is the result of both the peak of food prices in 2008 that the economic crisis that followed.
Families must make decisions very hard to be able to bring some food on the table - decisions like removing the children from school, sell their only cow or abandon the treatment. Every day, over 25,000 people die from hunger-related causes. This is simply unacceptable!

Promises, promises . But the global leader shell out the money?
In 2000, world leaders pledged to halve the number of people suffering from hunger by 2015. Unless world leaders should increase their efforts seriously, do not even come close to this goal.
the G8 and G20, we would expect a significant amount of money on the table. Why no one should go hungry.
