FACTS |
| I. Quotidie moriuntur aut
fame aut famis effectis circa uiginti quattuor milia (24000) hominum. Hic
numerus deminutus est de triginta quinque millibus (35000) abhinc decem
annos atque de quadraginta millibus et mille (41000) abhinc viginti annos.
Tria funera ex quattuor sunt liberorum annos nondum quinque natorum. |
1. About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related
causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-
fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five.
|
| II. Hodie ex centum
liberorum in nationibus crescentibus natorum decem moriuntur ante aetatem
quinque annorum. Haec summa decidit de portione vicesima octava abhinc
quinquaginta annos. |
2. Today 10% of children in developing countries die before the age of five. This is
down from 28% fifty years ago.
|
| III. Segetum amissarum fames
et bella efficiunt solum portionem decimam eorum qui fame moriuntur,
etiamsi de his ualde saepe auditur. Maior pars mortis fame effecti venit
de alimento paruo maloque inveterato. Familiae tantummodo non satis cibi
accipere possunt. Hoc autem de paupertate extrema uenit. |
3. Famine and wars cause just 10% of hunger deaths, although these tend to be the ones
you hear about most often. The majority of hunger deaths are caused by chronic
malnutrition. Families simply cannot get enough to eat. This in turn is caused by extreme
poverty.
|
| IV. Praeter morbem alimentum
malum etiam conficit oculos debilitatos, corpora languida et curta, atque
malam valetudinem. Qui pessimum alimentum recipiunt vel agere vel dicere
aegre possunt. |
4. Besides death, chronic malnutrition also causes impaired vision, listlessness,
stunted growth, and greatly increased susceptibility to disease. Severely malnourished
people are unable to function at even a basic level.
|
| V. Aestimantur octingenta
milia miliens (800 000 000) hominum in orbe terrarum de fame alimentoque
malo et parvo dolere. Hic numerus est centies maior quam numerus eorum qui
his causis quotannis moriuntur. |
5. It is estimated that some 800 million people in the world suffer from hunger and
malnutrition, about 100 times as many as those who actually die from it each year.
|
| VI. Saepe simpliciter paucis
opibus necesse est ut pauperes satis cibi colere possint ad se ipsos
alendos sine adiumento per annos. In opibus his sunt semina bonae
qualitatis, instrumenta ad laborem apta, et accessum ad aquam. Adiuuant
quoque parui profectus in artibus agros colendi atque in modis cibos in
horreis condendi. |
6. Often it takes just a few simple resources for impoverished people to be able to
grow enough food to become self-sufficient. These resources include quality seeds,
appropriate tools, and access to water. Small improvements in farming techniques and food
storage methods are also helpful.
|
| VII. Multi de fame docti
credunt optimum demum famis minuendae modum per educationem esse. Educati
maxime valent ut perrumpant per paupertatis circulum qui famem efficit. |
7. Many hunger experts believe that ultimately the best way to reduce hunger is through
education. Educated people are best able to break out of the cycle of poverty that causes
hunger.
