Hunger is afflicting both our countries mate. What irks me if folks with no frigging life come up with ridiculous and insulting titles to score brownie points.

Pakistan: 8 Hunger Facts
By Jackie Dent — 23 November 2010

The monsoon floods in August hit a country already grappling with high levels of malnutrition, high food prices and a humanitarian crisis along its border with Afghanistan. Here are eight facts that show the full extent of hunger and poverty in Pakistan.

1. 20 million affected by the floods
The Pakistan floods this summer impacted the lives and livelihoods of some 20 million people, around 10 million of whom required emergency food assistance.

2. Nearly one in two Pakistanis at risk
Pakistan suffered from widespread hunger even before the monsoon floods, with an estimated 82.6 million people – a little less than half the population – estimated to be food insecure.

3. Widespread poverty
An estimated 36 percent of Pakistanis live below the poverty line and almost half are illiterate. Poorer households typically spend over 60 percent of their income on food.

4. Poor sanitation
50 percent of all Pakistanis have little or no access to clean toilets and drinking water, a condition that renders them vulnerable to infectious diseases.

5. Child mortality
The biggest killers of children under five in Pakistan are diarrhea and acute respiratory infections. Undernourishment is an underlying cause in 38 percent of those cases.

6. Violent conflict
Conflictalong Pakistan’s northwestern border with Afghanistan has forced millions of people to flee their homes. Since 2008, WFP has provided over 2.6 million of them with food assistance.

7. Rising hunger
Volatile food prices over the past seven years have pushed the number of people who depend on food assistance in Pakistan from 38 percent of the population in 2003 to 49 percent in 2009.

8. Wheat dependent
Wheatis Pakistan’s main staple crop and most important source of calories. As a result of the flooding, which submerged around 16 percent of all arable land in Pakistan, the upcoming wheat harvest is expected to be around 15 percent smaller than usual.

Laughing at poor.. we just crossed another superpower China....will you laugh on China....no...then...laugh at your own poor....

 

[Dr. Sen]

Completely off topic, grow up already. What does India having hungry people have to do with Pakistan? grow the f** up.

All the points he made. You did not get the point. We are largest in many good things and bad because of population. Why dont you all also open thread regarding India being one of the largest billionairs country, on of the largest middle class, we haveone of the largest food subsidy program.

I meant this . He had to bring Pakistan in, somehow.

What about pakistan ?

Its that Indians are taking care of all its problems, all our social indicators are positive, while Pakistanis here try to point out our problems while all problems in Pakistan is getting worse. Pakistanis should atleast try to stop their country from continueing into the negetive and at least make it stop sliding.

 

[ito]

It is sad that there are still $194 million people in India who cannot afford food.

 

[WAJsal]

Tell me man, what about pakistan ranking ?

Yes it's not appealing. you are simply justifying this(topic) by comparing yourselves to us.

 

[nForce]

I feel its not about being poor its about the culture and values when rich wont help poor that's what happens. Islam insists on zakat to eradicate such thing .

Indian culture and values are leading to not only highest number of poor and hungry but also highest number of suicides

India has highest number of suicides in the world: WHO - The Times of India

Its a shame when they talk about mars. nuclear subs and dreams of becoming a SUPERPOWER when actually their own
federation is at the brink of disintegration.

Maoists,kashmiries,khalistanis they all need their rights and freedom from a bunch of crazy pots who instead of providing food and toilets to masses are spending billions on mar missions and weapons to pursue their evil deeds.

Shame on them and shame on those who will start supporting them by pulling Pakistan (Pakistan is going through a war for a decade and hundreds of thousands of IDP'S make it difficult to calculate)into this but my advice to them is to discuss here Indian hunger and suicides here for pak issues open a new thread.

You know how these numbers are calculated right ? You come up with a big number because India is a big country with one-fifth of World's population!!

 

[Mr.Nair]

Pakistanis should atleast try to stop their country from continueing into the negetive and at least make it stop sliding.

Pakistan at least tell to the world that we are No. 1 or 2 on some positive indicator regarding any matter.

Actually the OP has created this thread with that purpose in mind, face it, it's a troll thread!

Such as? major problem terrorism has fallen. 45% after operation Zarb-e-Azb started. Economy is much stable and growing.
