 We
do not have to worry about being
hungry. Most of us probably eat three healthy meals a day. However, many
people in the world are suffering from hunger. In many poor countries,
people don’t have enough food to eat. As a matter of fact, a lot of children are dying
of hunger every day. If we care a little more, we can save many lives. Recently, a charity group saved the life of an African baby named Minhaj Gedi Farah.
Famine is a serious problem in many countries
around the world. Every day, many children and babies die of starvation. Underdeveloped nations in
Africa and some parts of Asia face this problem.
It is very sad to see little children getting sick and dying from
not having any food or water. Minhaj was one of these babies who was
on the brink of death. He was not fed properly and got very sick.
However, a charity group saved the little boy’s life. Now he is very
healthy.
Earlier this year in July,
a weak little baby lay silently under a mosquito net on a hospital
bed at a refugee camp in Kenya, the baby was extremely malnourished and boney. The Somali boy did
not even have energy to cry. The little boy was Minhaj, who was just
seven months. His family was very poor and hopeless.
 Babies like
him usually do not survive. Fortunately, an annual fundraising event
in New York, which was organized by the International Rescue Committee국제구조위원회,
gave the boy a second chance at life. Aid was given to babies like
Minhaj. Hospitals in refugee camps performed sessions of intensive feeding to get
the babies healthy. Minhaj is now a plump and strong child who
loves to smile.
Famine causes thousands of deaths of Somali
children every year. There are many groups, like UNICEF, which try
their best to give a helping hand. However,
almost two million Somalis
do not have access to any food aid.
Many people ran away from their country to Kenya because of war and hunger.
Children like Minhaj need our help. People need to start caring more
so we can prevent children from dying of hunger. We are fortunate to have food on
our tables every day. What are some ways we can help these poor and
hungry children? |
