REALITATILE
FOAMETEI |
HUNGER
FACTS |
| 1. Aproximativ 24.000 de
persoane mor īn fiecare zi de foame sau de boli cauzate de foamete.
Aceasta cifra a scazut de la 35.000 cu zece ani īn urma si respectiv
41.000 acum douazeci de ani. Trei sferturi din totalul deceselor sunt
copii sub cinci ani. |
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.
|
| 2. Astazi 10% dintre copiii
din tarile īn curs de dezvoltare mor īnainte de a īmplini vārsta de
cinci ani. Aceasta cifra a scazut de la 28% acum cincizeci de ani. |
2. Today 10% of children in developing countries die before the age of five. This is
down from 28% fifty years ago.
|
| 3. Lipsa de alimente si
razboaiele cauzeaza doar 10% din decese desi acestea sunt cauzele de care
se aude cel mai des. Majoritatea deceselor datorate foametei sunt cauzate
de subnutritie cronica. Familiile pur si simplu nu au destula māncare.
Acest fapt la rāndul lui este cauzat de saracia crunta īn care se zbat
aceste familii. |
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.
|
| 4. Inainte de a provoca
moartea, subnutritia cronica afecteaza vederea, cauzeaza apatie, opreste
cresterea normala si mareste susceptibilitatea la īmbolnavire. Persoanele
cu subnutritie severa nu sunt capabile sa foloseasca functiile de baza ale
organismului uman. |
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.
|
| 5. Se estimeaza ca aproape
800 de milione de oameni din īntreaga lume sunt afectati de foamete si
subnutritie, aproape de 100 de ori mai mult decāt cei care de fapt mor
din aceasta cauza īn fiecare an. |
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.
|
| 6. De multe ori saracii au
nevoie doar de cāteva mijloace simple pentru a produce hrana suficienta
pentru nevoile proprii. Acestea sunt: seminte de calitate, unelte
corespunzatoare, acces la apa, iar īmbunatatiri modeste ale tehnicilor
agricole si metodelor de pastrare a alimentelor pot fi deasemenea utile. |
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.
|
| 7. Majoritatea expertilor
cred ca, finalmente, cea mai buna solutie pentru eradicarea foametei este
educatia. Oamenii educati sunt mai capabili sa iasa din ciclul saraciei
care cauzeaza foamete. |
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.
