Millions Face Hunger and Starvation
Posted by L A on Sunday, May 13, 2012 Under: Famine
The following are recent reports from World Vision, a worldwide nonprofit charitable organization:
NIGER
The food emergency in Niger keeps getting worse. The number of people at risk has risen to over 6 million - almost half the country's population! Countless refugees add to that number, as they escape the violence in Libya, Mali, and Nigeria. "For some families, getting trough the crisis means choosing which child will get to eat," says Paul Sitnam, World Vision emergency director.
Commentary: Did you catch that statement, "...as they escape the violence in Libya, Mali and Nigeria?" You may be asking yourself, "What violence is that?" It is generally the Muslim terrorists attacking everyone but themselves, and possibly even other Muslims. While Barack Obama is in the US uplifting the name of Islam, these maniacal groups are on rampages in areas of Africa and the Middle East, with the intent to kill everyone who opposes Islam. Do you ever hear the Obama administration talk about the terror these people are facing day in and day out, in addition to the fact that they are starving to death? No, I am afraid not. He is very concerned about winning the upcoming election right now, in order to make certain he finishes his total annihilation of the Constitution and subjugation of the US for Allah and his Muslim cohorts.
CHAD
A lack of rain in Chad has led to chronic food shortages and some 2 million people in the country are now in need of aid. Thousands of children and families have overwhelmed the feeding centers in the Kanem region, which is struggling to keep up with the many cases of severe malnutrition. The drought is also killing cattle and dramatically reducing crops. Most food is transported in from other regions - leading to massive price increases. With so few resources, there is very little money. Parents are often unable to feed their children.
MAURITANIA
Nearly a quarter of all households in this small nation are going hungry. Normally the region has five to 10 years to recover from droughts, but the last severe shortage was just two years ago. "There is no food in the bank now, and we are dying," pleads Mariama, a mother of three. 110,000 children under 5 are going hungry, and to make matters worse, wells are drying up, increasing the risk of cholera outbreaks.
Jesus spoke to His disciples about the needy in this manner: "All nations will gather before Him and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to them on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave Me meat, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, I was in prison and you came unto Me.' Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You? or thirsty and give You a drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in? or naked and clothe You? or when did we see You sick, or in prison and come unto You?' The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these My brothers, you have done it unto Me.' Then He will say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave Me no meat, I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink, I was a stranger and you took Me not in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you visited Me not.' These will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life" Matthew 25:32-43, 46.
