The Individual Cost Of Hunger

Why it is not just those in famine-hit areas who suffer from hunger

Millions of people go hungry every day, yet they do not live in a famine-hit area. Food shortages caused by droughts, floods or war, often cause widespread hunger. Not having enough to eat is also an individual tragedy that affects many millions of people throughout the world on a daily basis. The programme looks at why so many people go hungry and what can be done about it.
