A Prayer for the Hungry: Ending Starvation in Conflict Zones

22 Ottobre 2024

As we celebrated the World Food Day, we pray for all those suffering from hunger, particularly in conflict zones. Oxfam reports that hunger driven by war has reached alarming levels, with warring parties weaponizing food by targeting supplies, destroying water and energy infrastructure, and blocking aid. Nearly 281.6 million people now face acute hunger, with Sudan, Gaza, Myanmar, and other regions experiencing mass starvation as a direct result of conflict. Starvation has become a cruel weapon used in violation of international laws.
