It is so difficult to consider the affects of the viral disease that is sweeping across East Africa and will ultimately result in starvation for many people there, when right around the corner from where I live there are homeless people camping out in our local Occupy living on whatever food they can gather through donations. I suppose the difference between the hungry at Occupy and the hungry in East Africa is that there is still food that can be donated here. There, even if people wanted to donate, they couldn't.
It is expected that 175,000 people will starve to death in one region alone in Kibuka as a result of this devastating crop loss. That number is only expected to increase as harvests continue to fail in several different nations.
