Over 30,000 people a day (85% children under 5) die of malnutrition, curable diseases, and starvation (Phillips, Page 1). In this paper I will be discussing the affects of starvation, which include death tolls, symptoms, and diseases. I will also converse about countries that are affected by starvation and some interesting facts that deal with starvation. Lastly, I will inform you about what movements’ people are partaking in to reduce global starvation. Firstly, a lot of things can happen when people starve. Some of the first symptoms can be that individuals can start to lose their muscle tone. This process is called Catabolysis, which is a medical condition. Your muscles start to break down, as well as some tissues (Right Health, Page 1). When those things start to break down your vital systems, such as nervous systems and/or heart muscle stop working. Also you will start to lose your fat. Catabolysis will only start when you don’t have any vitamins coming into your body, it can also occur if there are no usable sources of energy coming into the body (Right Health, Page 1). When you don’t get vitamins that’s when diseases begin to occur. These diseases are anemia, beriberi, pellagra, and scurvy. As these diseases progress over time they will lead to death. When all those things happen, and if you are still alive, you would most likely be fatigued, irritable, and lethargic. Here's a death toll statistic I found in Sudan Darfur, there have been 180,000 people who have died in the past 18 months because of starvation. Here is another everyday statistic; almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes, which mean one child every five seconds dies (Scottish News, Page 1). There are a couple of organizations that have relief efforts in place that are trying to reduce starvation in those third world countries. One big organization is the World Health Organization (W.H.O.); and another is the Food and Agriculture Organization (F.A.O.). The World Health...
