By: Eva G. and Victoria D.

2. What is World Hunger?
World Hunger is a big issue that is all over the world.
It effects more than just one country.
Unlike famines that receive emergency-aid, World Hunger is a silent, invisible, day to day condition which means that hunger can start anywhere and not be recognized for a while by other countries.

3. What Causes World Hunger?
Climate and weather cause hunger. Natural disasters such as floods, tropical storms and long periods of droughts.
Also droughts are on the increase and are the most common causes of hunger leaving even more people hungry.
Poverty traps and food prices also cause a lot of World Hunger.

4. Who Does it Affect? 795 million people are affected by world hunger.
World Hunger affects people who are poor, homeless, people who have suffered from natural disasters and people who live in places where no food is available.
Hunger can also affect anyone, but it mainly affects people in poorer countries.
