WORLD NEEDS
Global Food Supply…. an Escalating Crisis
As poignant images of suffering in East Africa fill media outlets, millions more people worldwide are going hungry as the price of basic foods soar. Earlier this year, global food prices hit their highest ceiling since they were first measured in 1990.
The causes are varied. Natural disasters, such as droughts, are hitting harvests. Climate change is affecting crop yields. Demand for more varied diets in countries like China, and a growing market for biofuels, are straining limited resources like land and water. Oil price hikes have pushed up food and market transportation costs.
The effects are stark. Globally, the price of maize is 105 per cent higher than last year and wheat prices are 80 per cent higher than July 2010. The following countries are worst hit with on-going local food insecurity: Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Niger, Chad, Afghanistan and Bolivia.
Food prices in Uganda, Burundi, Bangladesh and Honduras are unstable and the situation could quickly deteriorate, while Sudan, Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Mali, Burkina Faso and India are potential problem areas.
Meanwhile, news reports suggest Somalia’s plight is worsening as militant groups block aid from getting into stricken areas and stop people leaving to seek out aid.
Please pray for all those who go to bed each night with empty stomachs and for the political will (local, national and global) to change this situation.
Pray for agencies working in East Africa: for God to give wisdom and strength to get aid where it is most needed.
Ask for good harvests all over the world to bring down food prices and to prevent millions more people being pushed into poverty.
Pray for donor governments to invest in small-scale agriculture over the long term to build resilience to recurring droughts and high food prices.
Pray the church will be able to minister to those in need……both physically and spiritually.
Pray for Compassion Services International (a UPCI sponsored organization) as they try to provide aid where needed.
