European Union Population Statistics

Aren’t these statistics sad?
These are very recent stats. It’s so hard to believe sometimes. It makes me realize and appreciate more all the things I have.
1.02 billion people do not have enough to eat – more than the populations of USA, Canada and the European Union.
10.9 million children under five die in developing countries each year. Malnutrition and hunger-related diseases cause 60 percent of the deaths
It is estimated that 684,000 child deaths worldwide could be prevented by increasing access to vitamin A and zinc
Lack of Vitamin A kills a million infants a year
If you think more should be done, please star this question. Thanks!
I personally think it should be on the top priority list for everyone. We’re all people. No one deserves to be hungry and die of hunger.

It’s really sad. Worse though, is that I don’t even think about stuff like that when I’m having a ‘problem’.
European commission, please listen to your population!
