CAMPAIGN AGAINST HUNGER - you can help.
In an effort to highlight the issue of widespread hunger and to bring pressure to bear on governments  the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) has organised a CAMPAGIN to highlight this urgent situation with the aim of getting the  dhungryeveloped world to do more.  The Slogan for the campaign is 1,000,000,000 PEOPLE live in chronic hunger and I’m Mad as Hell indicating the need for a response, born of a righteous anger, to this unnecessary situation in a world where there is more than enough food.

One of the major causes of migration is hunger.  Conflicts, natural disasters, civil unrest and climate change all have one common denominator – they disrupt food supply leading to hunger.  According to the United Nations the number of people affected by hunger is over ONE BILLION for the first time ever.  Most of these people are still in their home places desperately hanging on and hoping that things will improve. Millions have been displaced either within their own countries or in neighbouring states.  Others have migrated further – some are those who now live in Ireland.

It will be presented at the United Nations in October/November 2010.   You can help put even more pressure on politicians by asking family, friends and colleagues to sign the petition.
