The document discusses poverty globally and in Darfur, Sudan specifically. It notes that half the world lives on less than $2 per day, nearly a billion people can't read or write, and 1.8 million children die from diarrhea each year due to lack of basic healthcare in poor countries. In Darfur, two million people are hungry, 400,000 have died, and 10,000 continue to die each month as people flee violence. The World Food Programme is working to address hunger among refugees by providing food donations.
