                                 FAMINE 


WHAT IS FAMINE?
Famine is an extreme scarcity of food or a shortage of food due to ant reason. Famine is an emotive word and while in the strict sense it means that people are starving in a massive scale. It is a complete absence of food and it can be due to some reasons such as:-
1.     Natural Disasters ( flood, drought, volcanic eruptions, earthquake etc)
2.     Over polluted areas that are unable to feed massive of people
3.     Poor quality of health facilities 
4.     The government that has poor management of resource 

WHICH PART OF WORLD HAS A LARGE NUMBER OF FAMINES?
The world’s countries are divided into 2 groups; first ones are the rich countries like Great Britain, France, Australia, Japan and the USA etc. The second division is for the poor countries such as Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Sudan in Africa etc.


WHY ONLY SOME COUNTRIES ARE FACING FAMINE?
Only some countries are facing Famine today because these countries are really poor, they have a lack of money in their community and their Government have a poor management system. Even though some people from rich countries are in terrible conditions and are homeless, but they are still receiving some kind of aid from the country they live in.

  5. So sad we need to help them but how we need to first know how to help them then take action. Also do they need food or money because with money they could buy food or they could just receive food and not go through the trouble.
