The death disease

The death disease.

Imagine you are scavenging the floor for food to eat and your dad is suffering from a killing Machine: Aids. This is a reality for many children in Africa. Thousands are killed daily by a disease called Aids, it ruthlessly massacred thousands monthly and millions yearly. This ruthless disease not only massacres many but leads to hunger. In Africa Hunger affects millions and is a direct repercussions of Aids. In  sub- Saharan Africa malnourishment affecting 1 in every 4 children(World hunger). However the reasons for hunger vary greatly. Most scenarios of hunger in Africa are a immediate result of AIDS. This murderous disease has lead to bigger more serious issues such as hunger, in 2014 alone affecting 23 million people”(Hunger facts)

The reason why Aids directly leads to hunger is because it lessens the amount of productions,  Juan Manuel Suarrez says that many Farmers fall ill with AIDS, wives leave the files to nurse them. Less hands mean less food, and coupled with drought, that many spell famine(Suarez). In this Article it states that one of the main reasons of hunger is due to the lack of hands working in the fields to produce food. Which results in “wives penniless wondering how to feed their children and pay for their education” When “1.3 million” people killed off by AIDS.(AIDS statistics) Due to the staggering amount of deaths Aids produces, that forces a lack of work force which therefore makes many kids suffer from malnourishment. Kids around Africa aren’t fed to the full potential in when growing leading to the them not being able to perform their full potential. Many children in Africa face this issue they are according to Bill gates “stunted”

Aids has tormented Africa for years has continually been causing more issues such as malnourishment. Or children being ”Stunted, are children who are are more likely to fall behind in school, missing key milestones in reading and math and go on to live in poverty.”(Gates notes)    This shows the malignant effects of malnutrition which in Africa is which is a direct result of Aids it forces many families to be financially unstable. This results in many children being greatly affected by hunger. With kids falling in this endless cycle of being “stunted” it prevents them from pushing their full potential and with AIDS still prowling around for its next victim kids are trapped in a tortuous trap where they are bound to be defeated.

Due to Aids and hunger Africa has suffered a miraculous amount for several years. Its a deadly cycle in which very few survive and none can escape. Thousands of Africans are dragged into this endless cycle daily and are trapped due to the lack of treatment.
