According to the “Aid to the Church in Need” Foundation , cases of cholera and malaria are increasing among the more than 600 thousand displaced persons fleeing the armed attacks in the region. The camps have been abandoned and the current drought is making the situation even more difficult. The main road in Mozambique has also been cut for security reasons and humanitarian aid has no way to reach several points in the province. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that there are about 950,000 people “facing severe hunger” in northern Mozambique, a quarter of whom are children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is news stories like these that make me sit down and be thankful for the life I have here in America. I am not being chased out of my house from armed attackers, getting sick from cholera or malaria and starving to death. It is really upsetting to see how people in other parts of the world tend to live. I could not imagine how scary it would be to not know when my next meal would be or if I was going to live to see the next day. Hopefully the UN will be able to come in and help Mozambique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is another example of the whole idea of international relations on what the United States and other countries should or should not get involved in. The United Nations does seem to be aware of the crisis in Mozambique so hopefully they will come in and will be able to help the people of Mozambique. I just do not know what the United Nations will be able to do besides trying to stop the armed gunmen from attacking the Mozambique people. Maybe they will distribute food to some of the Mozambique people but that is only a short term solution not a long term solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
