    It really scares me to know that one child dies every five seconds from hunger. Also, it was eye-opening to see that 9 million kids die of hunger before their fifth birthday. I think it's really unfair that someone that young has to go through such living.

    It's really really sad how a child dies every five seconds!! It's also amazing how many people have dropped into poverty over just the last 2 years.

    These facts are really depressing its so upsetting to hear that a child dies every fives seconds and how the recession has pushed 100-150 million people into poverty

    I can't believe that just last year the entire total of people in poverty reached all the way up to 100-150 million people. It's really shocking that while this was happening, I was sitting here without a clue. It's truly amazing what goes on when you turn away for but a moment.

    Like Julia. That's actually pretty scary and deppressing. 925 million people in poverty is pretty insane. It's hard to see people in poverty who lives their life stuggling for food and/or $$... :(

    It's sad that a kid dies every five seconds. But whats even worse is that 9 million kids die before their fifth birthday.

    925 million people are hungry. They cant put food on their tables. I think we take it for granted. We always have food in our fridges, we always have food on our tables. We need to appreciate more for what we get. Next time our moms put something on the table we don't like, you should still appreciate that you get food in your bodies. There are millions people out there that would do anything for just a thing of spinach.

    Forgot the tags and comment oops O.o i will post the comment. I find it amazing that 6 out of 10 of the poorest people in the world are women. This will tell you about the difference in gender and poverty!

    I dont think its surprising that more women are in poverty than men.I think there is that certain amount of feminism involved in payment. Sadly this proves it

    I find the article very sad. I had no clue that poverty could be effected by gender. I was also shocked to see that 75% of women cant get bank loans because they have unpaid or insecure jobs.

    Knowing that women are the poorest gender is both outragoious and agreeable. Since women are the care takers in the family. But losing 85% of calories getting water, is unhealthy and sad.

    i think that if women got the same oppritunties as men like in jobs and education, there would be less problem with poverty in women.
