While World Capitalists spend Trillions of Dollars on their wanton wars, Hunger remains and kills 18,000 children everyday, as reported by UN officials below.

These are not children dying only in poor areas in the World, but they are children dying as a result of wars launched on their countries by the world imperialist powers.

According to The UNITED NATIONS, Some 18,000 children die every day because of hunger and malnutrition and 850 million people go to bed every night with empty stomachs, a "terrible indictment of the world in 2007," the head of the U.N. food agency said.

"Today 850 million people are hungry and malnourished. Over half of them are children.
18,000 children die every single day because of hunger and malnutrition," James Morris said. "This is a shameful fact - a terrible indictment of the World in 2007 and it's an issue that needs to be solved."

~ Iraqi Children have been killed since the US-Led NATO embargo (1990-2003), which resulted in killing more than half a million Iraqi children in the 1990s.The US Secretary of State, Mad Albright, then uttered her infamous announcement that killing them was "worth it."

~ In Darfur, suddenly rebel groups emerged when oil and uranium reserves became well-known. These rebel groups have been well supplied with weapons to fight for independence from Sudan. You can guess who is funding them. Again, Darfur Children have been victims of this oil-uranium war, just like their fellow Sudanese in the South in the past.

~ Afghani Children have been suffering continuously since the US encouraged Afghanis to fight the Soviet invasion in 1979. The war devastated the economy and resulted in a failing state. When finally, the Soviets left in mid-1980s, the US left the Afghanis alone fighting a devastating civil war, which destroyed what was left of the countries institutions. Finally, since the 2001 US invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, and despite hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the war, Afghanis have not seen improvement in their life, including those related to children. A frequent NATO media propaganda has been expressing intentions for reconstruction, after defeating the Taliban resistance movement!

~Then, all over the world, pockets of poverty have been centers of starvation and suffering for children. Wealthy Northern hemisphere Nations have been spending trillions of dollars on their military spending in and there are wars in the poor Southern Hemisphere.

Dreams of humanity for peace after World War II
have evaporated when US-Led NATO countries have marginalized the UN by starting a neo-imperialist era. Wars and Invasions have replaced cooperation and dreams for a better future for humanity.

James Morris said the largest number of malnourished children are in India - more than 100 millions - followed by nearly 40 millions in China.

"I'm very optimistic that India and China are very focused on this issue," he said. "They're making great progress - (but) need to do more. (It) needs to be a top priority."

Elsewhere (this include, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Tajiksan, Burma...), there are probably 100 million hungry children in the rest of Asia, another 100 millions in Africa (Ethiopia, Niger, Guinea, Mozambiq...) part of the Caribbean (Haiti) where countries have fewer resources to help and 30 millions in Latin America (Venezuela, Peru, Panama, Surinam, Brazil...) James Morris said.
