OT Starving children don't cry

*Yet obesity is a major health problem in the USA and is becoming so in
other "civilised" countries.*
Starvation is agonizing and degrading. You lose control of your bowels.
Your skin peels off, your hair falls out, you hallucinate and you may go
blind from lack of vitamin A. While you waste away, your body cannibalizes
itself: It consumes its own muscles, even the heart.
Yet Abdo Sayid, a 4-year-old boy so emaciated he weighed just 14 pounds,
wasn’t crying when he was brought to a hospital recently in Aden, Yemen.
That’s because children who are starving don’t cry or even frown. Instead,
they are eerily calm; they appear apathetic, often expressionless. A body
that is starving doesn’t waste energy on tears. It directs every calorie to
keep the major organs functioning.

US announces $225m in emergency food aid to Yemen
Around 80 percent of Yemen’s population, or 24 million people, rely on aid, and 10 million are facing famine.
"The United States on Wednesday announced it would provide $225m in emergency aid to Yemen to support food programmes, and called on the Houthis to do more to allow aid operations to operate “independently and neutrally”.
US Secretary of Mike Pompeo told a news conference that the funding Washington is committing would go to the UN World Food Programme’s (WFP) emergency food operation in southern Yemen, as well as its reduced operation in northern Yemen.
The WFP said it was going to halve the aid it gives to people in parts of Yemen controlled by the Houthi movement from mid-April after donors cut funding over concerns the Houthis are hindering aid deliveries.
Yemen is already grappling with the world’s biggest humanitarian crisis caused by a war between the Saudi-led coalition seeking to restore the internationally recognized government, and the Houthi movement that drove the government from power in Sanaa in late 2014.
In a conference call with reporters, officials with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the US State Department said while there has been some limited progress in aid operations recently, Houthis still needed to do more for funding to return.
The steps included “concrete actions to remove impediments including approvals, or travel permits to deliver aid, on partner agreements halting interference in the selection of beneficiaries and allowing agencies to operate independently and neutrally on the basis of need,” said Richard Albright, a deputy assistant secretary at the US State Department.
“Certain barriers have been beginning to move, but it’s been much more in the theoretical and talking stage, and we haven’t seen a lot of action,” said Matt Nims, deputy director of USAID’s Office of Food for Peace.
Around 80 percent of Yemen’s population, or 24 million people, rely on aid, and 10 million are facing famine. Yemen has the world’s fourth-highest internally displaced population and healthcare is scarce in rural areas.
The country has reported a total of 26 coronavirus infections with six deaths, but due to inadequate testing and a shattered health system aid groups fear a devastating outbreak. According to WHO, only 200 tests with results have been delivered nationwide.
Under such conditions, gaps in aid funding are a major risk. The United Nations last week warned that 31 of 41 major UN humanitarian assistance programmes would scale down or stop in coming weeks without more money as donors and aid agencies have increasingly complained of interference and obstruction from Houthi authorities..."

Many of these famines have human causes. While there is the occasional
case of famine or plagues destroying the crops, the more common problem
is conflict and warfare. Farmers are forced off the land, can't harvest
their crops, can't get it to market.
One thing that I have always found perplexing about natural famines is
the size of the the families of the afflicted people. During the
Ethiopian famine in the mid 80s the media often had photos of families
showing up at aid stations with 8 or more kids.The land has never been
kind to the people in that country and it has always been a struggle to
find food, but the continue to have large families that they can't feed.
It is hard to understand.

you can find or afford any form of birth control??? Apart from that
natures way is to produce more off spring to try and have at least one

If you're thinking well they should avoid sexual relations for birth

"The Food Bank would like to congratulate its Volunteer Leader of the Quarter, Mr. Steve Wertz. Since 2010, Steve has volunteered over 800 hours at the Food Bank. Steve began as an administrative volunteer, helping with data entry of volunteer hours. In 2011, he decided he wanted a more physically active volunteer role and began to volunteer in Product Recovery. After quickly establishing himself as a key volunteer, he was nominated as a Volunteer Leader in 2012 and happily accepted the promotion. Steve went above and beyond by committing to shifts two days a week in Product Recovery.
As a Volunteer Leader, Steve is helpful and courteous with volunteers and always eager to help. Ellen Weaver, Product Recovery Assistant, says, ““I’ve only known Steve for a brief span of time, but within that time he has demonstrated excellence in leadership, accountability, and a determination to fulfill the mission of the Food Bank. The Food Bank and the Product Recovery team are quite lucky to have the presence of a hard worker like Steve.”
In addition to helping in Product Recovery, Steve has volunteered for many years at Austin Reggae Festival and Hot Sauce Fest. He’s not afraid to fundraise and “foodraise” (his term). Steve says that he likes to see the whole process of food banking, from the time the food leaves a donor’s hand to the time it is sorted and headed out the door to folks who need it. When asked what one of his favorite things is about volunteering at the Food Bank, he said, “It's a fun atmosphere to interact with people you may otherwise never meet, all while providing an important service to the local community. Often times you'll meet other volunteers again outside of the food bank who will remember you and that usually gives you chance to follow-up with them to find out that that they had a worthwhile, enjoyable experience as well.”
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and commitment to ending hunger in Central Texas, Steve!..."

stuck looking after their babies and young children. The parents are
unable to work, so it makes it even more difficult for them to make
money for food. They get stuck in poverty and the kids end up stuck in
that same cycle of poverty.

the poor while at the same time working to deny them access to birth

Put five thousand of these enlightened souls together on a previously

soon emerge, maybe even a new religion. Take it to the bank.
