Zambia Blocking Food Aid

There is a lot of hunger going on in our world. People are starving and some of them even die from hunger. Some continents can’t supply the amount of food needed to be distributed to the starving people for the reason of lack of money andor bad economy. There are a lot of groups that try to help those regions. They may be small and individual and they may be big as the Red Cross and the UN. They are collecting donations world wide and they buy food and humanitarian things and distribute it to the needy.

Most of the cases in Africa, most of the starving are refugees that live without homes and are over pact with population.

The refugees are homeless civilians that were left without homes after civil wars. The actual governments are not taking care for the refugees due to the amount of uprising in the states and they can’t afford themselves to deal with the refugee situation, so as the long history shows us they are always falling in between the chairs.

The UN and the Red Cross and other humanitarian bodies are playing a very important roll in the situation that exists by talking to the government. They try to provide the needy with food, healthcare, and clothing.

Agriculture Minister Mundia Sikatana said. "The country should thus refrain from actions that might adversely affect human and animal health as well as harm the environment," (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2371675.stm)

ne of the Africans nations that is facing a big scale food crises and one of the nations that rely on humanitarian programs. Nearly three million of the Zambian people are facing famine. In Zambia there are 130,000 refugees from Angola and democratic republic of Congo. “Zambia allows GM aid for refugees” (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2244554.stm)

So you may ask if which is ethical, for the government to hold the food in storage or the governments need to care for the people right now and give them as much as they can and they are able to do this because the food is all ready in storage and ready to be distributed to the people. I don’t know if the state is democratic or not but I assume it is not, if it was then the government would already be replaced for a new one or it will face another civil war. I strongly think that if one is in a famine he doesn’t care what happened to the grain just that he wants to eat and fulfill his hunger. While people are starving to death for a simple reason that it may be unhealthy, when you are looking on the health and learning the issue very deeply and trying to see what is right vs. a nation that is dying one by one. There is no reason once or ever to look on a nation’s future without a nation. If the government is trying to eliminate those who are in great need they are criminals to human kind and need to step down and stand in front of a judge. It is well understood if a state have ideologies or principle and we knew that they do have a strong beliefs but the question is, is it right to stand behind this belief.

On the other hand there is the principle of not using GM food in this country and not for the reason of eating it, its because of the worries that the seeds will find their way to the soil and contaminate the local crops that are not GM, if the seeds were ground or half ground then there is no issue at sake, and the grains will not contaminate the locally grown cro
