Food Crisis Threatens Millions in Niger

Food Crisis Threatens Millions in Niger

If you read the news article at the above word button you will read about how approximately 3 million people will possibly face starvation or death in Niger between now and August. The price of food has risen 25 to 35 percent and since there has been a major crop failure that helped precipitate this rise in the cost of food likely many will starve and die between now and when the next big set of crops are harvested in August. However, unless the weather is better for growing food that crop won't be there either.
