Eritrea's plight
In a good year she grows
enough sorghum to feed
her family and still has
enough to sell at market.
But last year's harvest
produced nothing, so this
year she has sold all her
livestock just to buy
supplies.
"We eat until the food runs
out," she said,
"After that we either have
to cancel the meal or search
for some leaves
(traditionally eaten by her
tribe - the Kunama). There
used to be leaves, but now
even those have gone, we
are in big trouble."

According to UNICEF, 30,000 children
die each day due to poverty. And they
“die quietly in some of the poorest
villages on earth, far removed from the
scrutiny and the conscience of the world.
That is about 210,000 children each
week, or just under 11 million children
under five years of age, each year.
Today, across the world
1.3 billion people live on less than one dollar
a day
3 billion live on under two dollars a day
1.3 billion have no access to clean water
3 billion have no access to sanitation
2 billion have no access to electricity

Today he is worth a staggering
$52.8 billion .
He could pay the salary of President
George W. Bush (US$400,000) for 132,000
years
You could win Survivor 52,000 times and
still not match up to his fortune.
The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of
the poorest 48 nations (i.e. a quarter of
the world’s countries) is less than the
