So What???

  • Around 45% of deaths among children under 5 years of age are linked to undernutrition.
  • Approximately 45 million young children across the globe suffer from severe malnutrition each year – that’s nearly one out of every three children under 5 years of age.
  • Approximately 9 million people die from hunger and malnutrition-related causes globally every year, with roughly 25,000 individuals losing their lives to starvation daily.
  • Nearly 10% of the world’s population is affected by hunger.
  • More than 60% of the world’s hungry population are women and girls.

The richest person on earth is Elon Musk, with an estimated net worth frequently exceeding $1 trillion. He and the Trump administration oversaw the large-scale reduction and dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. federal agency responsible for distributing global humanitarian and food aid.
