Niger Children are dying off- Current Event Post

Niger is a very poor country, the people there are illetrate and do not have the knowledge or nourishment and childcare, etc. About one fourth of the children under five years of age die. Lack of food in Africa has occured in the past and is still occuring. Children in Niger die because their families cannot afford to pay for food and food is a necesity of life. Even though Niger is an arable land many people still die. Rescue teams have been sent but still there are people starving. The starvation and malnourishment has gotten much worse than it was and we should really help those people because they need our help.
