The Hard Facts on Hunger
- 36.2 million Americans— including 12.4 million children— don’t have access to enough healthy food to thrive. They are food insecure and at risk of hunger.1
- 10.9 million children under 5 die in developing countries each year. Malnutrition and hungerrelated diseases cause 60 percent of the deaths.2
- It is estimated that 684,000 child deaths worldwide could be prevented by increasing access to vitamin A and zinc.3
