“Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.”

"They didn't give us anything ...They said that we were sick, that we would die soon, and that it would be a waste of food ...I can't go on ... " (Wiesel 107)

“WE STAYED IN GLEIWITZ for three days. Days without food or water. We were forbidden to leave the barrack. The door was guarded by the SS.” (Wiesel 95)

“My father is sick," I answered in his place..."Dysentery..." "That's not my business. I'm a surgeon.” (Wiesel 108)

In today's world, conflicts from many circumstances led to violations on human rights. Countries worldwide suffer to obtain food and clean water in communities. Natural disasters, diseases, economic decline, displacement and war has led to the hunger crisis.

The number one cause of hunger around the world is clear.

WFP assists 91.4 million people across 83 countries each year. Of these, 56 million of them are concentrated in only 8 countries. Why? According to two new reports , the reason is clear: Man-made conflict is the #1 driver of hunger on the planet. Here are the eight countries that 60 percent of the world's hungry people call home:

Yemen

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)

Afghanistan

South Sudan

Syria

The Lake Chad Basin

The Central African Republic

Somalia

The report shows that the link between conflict and hunger is not only undeniable, it is persistent and it is deadly.

An especially dark finding in the report is that violence against humanitarian workers is also growing, sometimes forcing them to suspend operations and deprive vulnerable populations of assistance. In 2018, aid workers and facilities were attacked in all eight of the countries listed above.

Shocking statistics

The growing number of long-term conflicts in the world is creating unprecedented and unacceptable levels of hunger:

Yemen
Yemen is the world's largest food security emergency. With 16 million people waking up hungry every day, it is a stark demonstration of the urgent need for an end to hostilities. Moreover, conflicting parties disregard the protected status of humanitarian facilities and personnel, which makes it difficult and dangerous to scale-up operations and prevent famine.

The DRC
In the second half of 2018, the DRC had the second highest number of acutely food insecure people - 13 million - driven by a rise in armed conflict.

Afghanistan
The percentage of rural Afghans facing acute food deficits is projected to reach 10.6 million people (or 47 percent of the country's entire population) by March if urgent life-saving assistance is not provided.

South Sudan
In South Sudan, where civil strife has persisted for more than five years, the hunger season is expected to start earlier than normal this year. This season is marked by a dramatic drop in agricultural production due to drought followed by unending rain, which makes growing crops nearly impossible and makes roads impassable for humanitarian workers. This year, the number of those in need of urgent support is expected to reach more than 5 million between January and March 2019.

Lake Chad basin
Across the Lake Chad basin, where Boko Haram militants are active, a major deterioration in food security is projected during this year's lean season (June-August 2019), and 3 million people are expected to face acute food insecurity.

Central African Republic
In the Central African Republic, armed conflict remained the main driver of hunger in 2018, with 1.9 million people experiencing severe food deficits.

"I would strongly encourage you to keep in mind that behind these seemingly dry statistics are real people experiencing rates of hunger that are simply unacceptable in the 21st century," says FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva. WFP's Executive Director David Beasley agreed, calling for an end to the suffering: "We need better and quicker access in all conflict zones, so we can get to more of the civilians who need our help. But what the world needs most of all is an end to the wars."
Do you think it's wrong that so many people are going hungry because of entirely preventable causes? We do too. Help us change someone's life today and donate now. For more information, view Monitoring Food Security in Countries with Conflict Situations and the 2019 Global Report on Food Crises.

Overall, article 25 and E. Wiesel's Night memoir have a significant amount of similarities between the violation of human rights. The story presents prisoners in concentration camps living in harsh conditions and getting denied basic needs. In particular, they did not have any rights while living in these camps. From World War II we have learned today that these related conditions of human not having the right of protection and safety has been occurring for the past few generations in many different countries.  People around the world suffer from not having essential components of a standard of living adequate for health and well-being.

In the memoir by E. Wiesel there is a lot of violations of human rights. In chapter 8, Eliezer asks a doctor to help his father but was denied care because the doctor did not want to waste his time on someone who will die whether or not he receives medical treatment. As well as not getting the right to security in the event of sickness, they did not have standard living adequate of food.
