27. AIDS and Famine Describe the impact of government stability on the distribution of resources to combat AIDS and famine across Africa. If people are sick, what happens? Aids kills young adults, especially women - the people whose labor is most needed. When the rains come, people must work 16 hours a day planting and weeding the crop. If that critical period is missed, the family will go hungry. In a community depleted by Aids, each working adult must produce more to feed the same number of dependents - not just children but sick adults, too. Just as HIV destroys the body's immune system, the epidemic of HIV and Aids has disabled African countries. As a result of HIV, the worst-hit African countries have undergone a social breakdown that is now reaching a new level: African societies' capacity to resist famine is fast eroding. Hunger and disease have begun reinforcing each other.
