Most areas in the world, except Africa, have made progress in ending hunger.
In Africa, there is less food per person today than there was in 1960. The most important reason for the hunger problem is the serious drought which has been going on in many parts of Africa. Some areas have not had a decent amount of rain for three years.
Another important reason for the hunger problem is the lack of planning by many African nations for tile of drought. For example, there are few food storage or irrigation systems in the drought-stricken areas. Without these systems people have no chance to prepare for difficult time. The hunger problem has also been caused by the poorly run governments within some African countries especially Ethiopia and Chad. Governments in these countries are so concerned about staying in power that they spend very little time helping hunger victims.
A final reason for the hunger problem is the lack of a good transportation system in most of the areas. Without good roads or railroads, transporting supplies to hunger victims who live in remote areas is almost impossible. Unless these conditions improve soon, it is estimated that over 35 million people will face starvation in Africa.
