CBS News: " U.S. poverty jumps the most in 60 years" - "Of the various measures of the coronavirus pandemic's comet strike on the U.S. economy, one especially reveals the size of the crater: Over a six-month period, nearly 8 million Americans have tumbled into poverty."

Politico: " Congress passes massive stimulus package as virus rages" - "Congress approved a $900 billion coronavirus relief package late Monday night after months of inaction and partisan bickering, sending desperately needed aid to Americans reeling from a global pandemic."

PBS: " How COVID Has Impacted Poverty in America" - "The film follows children from three families in Ohio already struggling to make ends meet when the coronavirus hit. It offers a glimpse into how the virus and its economic fallout introduced new uncertainties into the children's lives, affecting their emotional wellbeing, their schooling and their parents' jobs."

Sojourners: " The U.S. Undercounts People In Poverty-By 106 Million, Advocates Say" - "Suppose the total annual income of a family composed of a mother, father, great-aunt, and two children living outside of a major metropolitan area came to $32,000 in 2019. Although their income might be significantly lower than the average among similarly-sized households in the region, the U.S. wouldn't have included them in the official count of American families living in poverty."

Cap Radio: " High-Poverty Neighborhoods Bear the Brunt of COVID's Scourge" - "Over the course of the pandemic, COVID-19 infections have battered high-poverty neighborhoods in California on a staggeringly different scale than more affluent areas, a trend that underscores the heightened risks for low-wage workers as the state endures a deadly late-autumn surge."

NBC News: " Poverty rate spiked when $600 stimulus payments expired, study finds" - "The U.S. poverty rate rose by nearly 2 percent over the summer, with about 7 million more Americans falling below the line, according to new research from the University of Chicago, the University of Notre Dame and Zhejiang University in China."

The Conversation: " Americans aren't getting enough to eat during the coronavirus pandemic - here's what's happening in Los Angeles County" - "The number of Americans who can't get enough food is rising from already troubling levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. About 1 in 10 Americans said in November 2020 that their household sometimes or often did not have enough to eat in the previous week, the U.S. Census Bureau found."

CNN: " Five stark measures show rising American suffering as Congress finalizes aid deal" - "Millions of Americans don't have enough to eat, are falling behind on housing payments or have had trouble paying their bills. And millions of Americans are lapsing into poverty."

Vox: " What it would take to end child poverty in America" - "In 2019, about one in six children in America - 12 million kids nationwide - lived in poverty. That's a rate about two or three times higher than in peer countries. And that was before the worst economic and public health crisis in modern history."

True false quiz

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
So right now, ask yourself this question - What do I really know about the hunger crisis? And how can I help?
Here are six true or false questions to test your knowledge:

1. True or false? One out of every nine people suffers from a debilitating lack of food.

True. Hunger and malnutrition kill more people than malaria, tuberculosis, and AIDS combined, and it is a widespread issue. Globally, one out of every nine people will go to bed hungry tonight. That means if you put 30 children from around the world in one classroom, at least three of them would be starving to death. And when you look specifically at places like Zimbabwe, Uganda, Haiti, and Syria, that percentage only grows.

2. True or false? The main cause of global hunger is overpopulation.

False. There are enough grains and vegetables grown every year to feed the global population several times over. The problem comes when the world's food supply is not evenly distributed. Extreme poverty, war, famine, political unrest, and drought are just a few of the reasons a community can find itself without access to nutrient-dense food. The majority of the world's hungry live in developing nations, and there is simply no way to survive when disaster strikes.

3. True or false? Hunger affects all ages and genders equally.

False. The victims of malnutrition and starvation are overwhelmingly young and female. In some cultures, it is customary for the women in a family to be the last to eat. This means what little food the family can afford goes to the men, leaving females and children with almost nothing to eat. When a malnourished woman becomes pregnant, her child is far more likely to be born underweight and undernourished, and she will likely struggle to produce enough milk to keep the child fed. From day one, that baby will be fighting a losing battle against starvation.

4. True or false? Malnourishment leads to nearly half the deaths in children under the age of 5.

True. The first few years of a child's life are crucial to his overall growth and development; without proper nutrition, children experience "stunting." It is estimated that in South Asia, two out of every four children are plagued with stunting and are unable to fully develop. This impacts not just the body but also the development of the brain.

5. True or false? The most dangerous effect of starvation is extreme weight loss.

False. Bony limbs and protruding ribs are indeed scary outward signs of starvation, but it's inside a child's body where the battle for his life truly rages. After days without food, his body burns through the last fat for fuel. When that fat is gone, it turns to the next available thing - internal organs. Slowly, painfully, a child's body deteriorates from the inside out. The heart is usually the last organ to go, finally becoming too weak to pump any longer.

6. True or false? You can feed a starving child for an entire year for as little as $40.

True. You can help provide enough food to last a child for a full year. This food will help keep him alive and allow him to grow strong and healthy. Then he will be able to grow up and give back to his community. Your gift will begin a chain of hope that will not just impact one life, but many.
