Stop Hunger: UNICEF Charity Campaign

Nel-Olivia Waga
October 16, 2017

Can you remember a day you have not eaten for more than 24 hours? What if you’d be sitting in front of an empty plate – being hungry – for a long period of time? We can’t even really imagine how this must feel like, because we are the privileged ones to have an easy access to healthy food and clean water on a daily basis. There are millions of humans on this planet – especially children – who are not as fortunate as we are. Children, who are starving and suffering serious diseases from hunger.

Almost 1.4 million children are at imminent risk of death from severe acute malnutrition this year, as famine looms in Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen. Time is running out for those children. We can still save many lives. The severe malnutrition and looming famine are largely man-made. Our common humanity demands faster action and more help.

Today, is October 16th. It’s World Food Day. I teamed up with UNICEF to stop hunger and raise funds for children in need. I donated to UNICEF today. You can help UNICEF to reach and rescue more children, if you donate here: https://www.unicef.ch/de/so-helfen-wir/programme/stopp-hunger

THANK YOU!

Können Sie sich erinnern, wann Sie das letzte mal mehr als 24 Stunden keine Nahrung zu sich genommen haben? Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie müssten über einen längeren Zeitraum hungern und hätten nichts ausser einen leeren Teller vor sich stehen. Wir – in unserer Welt- können uns dieses Gefühl von Hunger nicht wirklich vorstellen, da wir das Privileg haben – täglich – über genügend gesunde Nahrung und sauberes Trinkwasser zu verfügen. Es gibt allerdings Millionen von Menschen, vor allem Kinder, die dies nicht haben und unsere Hilfe benötigen, bevor sie verhungern und schwer erkranken – durch Hunger.

In Nigeria, Somalia, dem Südsudan und Jemen droht fast 1,4 Millionen schwer mangelernährten Kindern der Hungertod. Die Krise ist weitgehend menschengemacht: Betroffen sind Regionen, die seit Jahren unter kriegerischen Konflikten leiden. Eine Dürre verschärft lediglich eine bereits bestehende Notsituation. UNICEF konzentriert sich derzeit darauf, in den Krisenregionen schwer mangelernährte Kinder mit therapeutischer Spezialnahrung und medizinischer Hilfe zu versorgen. Hinzu kommt die Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit sauberem Trinkwasser und Hygieneartikeln.
