World Hunger and Jumbo Jets

Over 9 million people die worldwide each year because of hunger and malnutrition.

This is about 25,000 people dying every day, or over 1000 every hour, for lack of food.

Over half of these numbers are children.

This is the technical equivalent of 45 jumbo jets crashing every single day, though the latter is what would instead make headline news.
