In an increasingly rich world, thirty million human beings die of hunger every year, and hundreds of millions are malnourished. The personal wealth of the fifteen richest people on the planet is equivalent to the gross domestic product of all the countries of Sub-Saharan African, and a child in the first world consumes as much as fifty children in the third world.
How is this possible? Why do we accept such a monstrous injustice? How can even begin to explain such an absurdity?
We will visit regions of the world that have suffered catastrophes, natural disasters and famines, such as Somalia, Afghanistan, Cambodia or North Korea, whose governments subject their populations to the bitterest poverty.
On the other hand, we will see men and women whose work it is to carry out development projects that not only are contributing to mitigating hunger, but are also managing to recover vast regions where until very recently life was impossible.
A world coalition against hunger is desperately needed.
