Humans are about war because the food?
Hunger problems are becoming more serious for people all over the world. Many experts say countries are facing a world war on oil, food and clean water.
A recent report by the World Bank (WB) showed that food prices from 10-2010 so far increased by 33%, nearly reaching the highest level in 2008. World food reserves are at an alarming level. The reason is that natural disasters are already happening.
Food prices rise almost in every category. WB said that compared to last year, corn prices increased by 84%, 62% sugar, 55% wheat, 47% soybean oil .
Africa is a particularly sensitive place. Currently, 12 million people are suffering from severe food shortages and living conditions. Cereal prices have surpassed those of 2008. Food prices have risen due to droughts and regional conflicts, among factions. Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti are facing the most serious food crisis in 50 years.
Millions of people live in severe food shortages.
Over 3.6 million people are close to death, requiring the world community to act. WB President Robert Zoellick said: 'Rising food prices and low reserves indicate we are at a very dangerous time.'
According to experts' estimates, the number of malnourished people in the world has exceeded 1 billion while the last year is 925 million. According to statistics from three years ago 125 million people lived in extreme poverty and this number is now even more so when food prices in general increased by 27%.
Many countries, the government does not control food prices, makes them free to escalate. Natural disasters continue to occur on a large scale, causing great stress.
Many experts say countries are facing a world war on oil, food and clean water. The number of starving people in the world is increasing while the global economy is becoming more difficult to overcome than ever.
