As the Emergency Food Crisis in worldwide enters into a critical stage. Kalindi Devi Foundation provides consistent Dry Food & other food Distributions to those most impacted by the food shortage, primarily in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camps.

Millions of people from across the globe, especially children continue to die as a result of hunger and malnutrition. A majority of such people are situated in underdeveloped and developing nations where food scarcity is the order of the day.

These individuals die from a multitude of diseases related to malnutrition, as well as undernourishment. Perhaps one of the most notable malnourishment diseases that affect poor people is beri beri. Beri beri is an inflammatory disease that causes degenerative changes on the body’s nervous system, heart and digestive system. Beri beri primarily results from lack of vitamin B or thiamin.

Poor people who suffer from malnutrition have a high likelihood of developing beri beri, as well as other deadly diseases such as anemia and scurvy. Diseases increase the likelihood of nutritional deficiency; therefore, poor people are at great risk of malnutrition. In addition, poor people, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries also die as a result of problems with the land they live on and till, for instance, famine and drought are known to cause massive losses of human lives amongst poor people. Children are the most affected group of people in the event of such tough climatic conditions.

To date, famine is one of the most common causes of death in underdeveloped and developing countries. Most of these deaths occur among children who often receive small food portions if any, despite the fact that they need it the most since they are still growing. During tough climatic conditions such as drought and famine, countries’ food supplies decrease substantially.
