Hunger, the biggest scandal
HUNGER is the greatest scandal of our age. It kills more people than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis put together.
One in eight people on our planet — that's nearly one billion people — go hungry every day, and 250 children die every hour due to malnutrition. Yet we produce enough food to feed everyone.
-
Earlier this year a major new campaign, 'Enough Food for Everyone IF', was launched by over 100 leading development charities including Christian Aid, Cafod, Tearfund, Save the Children and Islamic Relief and numerous faith groups.
As church leaders in Wales we believe that we have a moral obligation to help the poor in our global community and play our part in relieving the injustice of hunger. We are therefore proud to support this campaign.

“I quite agree with the sentiments expressed here. However while the politicians of these countries continue to build themselves gold plated palaces with our aid money while their people starve do not expect any help from me.”
