2004: Indian Ocean Tsunami--
On Dec. 26, 2004 a 9.2 magnitude
earthquake rocked the bottom of
the Indian Ocean, releasing energy
equivalent to that of 23,000 atomic
bombs.
The largest earthquake in 40
years, the Sumatra-Andaman
earthquake (so named because
the epicenter was near the west
coast of the Indonesian island of
Sumatra) launched a tsunami
across the Indian Ocean, sending
a series of waves as high as 50
feet crashing onto the shores of 11
countries.
Some people were swept out to
sea while others drowned in their
homes, unable to escape.
According to the U.S. Geological
survey, the official death toll was
227,898.

2005: Kashmir, Pakistan
Kashmir, the site of a prolonged
and violent border dispute
between India and Pakistan, is
beleaguered enough; a massive
earthquake on Oct. 8, 2005 only
added to the province's woes.
Measuring 7.6 on the Richter
scale, the quake killed 79,000 and
left millions more homeless. The
remote, mountainous terrain
compounded problems for rescue
and recovery efforts, as crews
struggled to reach the injured.

CHINA 2008
EARTHQUAKE--
The mountainous parts of Sichuan
and surrounding provinces hit by
the 2008 quake are poor, not
destitute, and they all had a basic
level of food and water supplies,
access to medicine and health
care, and transportation and
communications infrastructure.
When much of that was wiped out
by the quake, China's central
government responded quickly,
sending tens of thousands of
soldiers and paramilitary troops to
the region.
They freed trapped survivors,
delivered food and water, rebuilt
roads and ensured stability. I
witnessed no incidents of looting
or other lawlessness

CARE Turns Down U.S. Food Aid
A major international charity has decided to turn
down millions of dollars worth of grain from the
U.S. government to feed the world's hungry
because it believes America's method of
delivering vital food supplies does more harm
than good.
The decision by CARE International comes during
heated debate over how America should deliver
food to 70 million of the world's starving and most
desperately poor.
While the U.S. is responsible for almost half of all
food donations to the developing world, it has
become increasingly isolated because of its
method for doing so.
It is the only country to utilize "monetized food aid,"
a method by which grain is shipped from America
to charities in the developing world, who then sell
the grain in the local market and invest the
proceeds for its own programs.
CARE has decided to phase out all such
monetized food aid by 2009, turning its back on
$46 million a year in U.S. federal funding.
The charity said selling food to fund its programs
is inefficient and often delivers life-sustaining
grain not to the hungry but to those who can afford
it. It says it made the decision to abandon the
controversial source of funding in 2005
WORLD FOOD CRISIS
Add this to the list of items that could
seriously threaten world peace:
Rocketing food prices — some of which have
more than doubled in two years — have sparked
riots in numerous countries recently. Millions are
reeling from sticker shock and governments are
scrambling to staunch a fast-moving crisis before
it spins out of control.
From Mexico to Pakistan, protests have turned
violent. Rioters tore through three cities in the
West African nation of Burkina Faso last month,
burning government buildings and looting stores.
Days later in Cameroon, a taxi drivers' strike over
fuel prices mutated into a massive protest about
food prices, leaving around 20 people dead.
Similar protests exploded in Senegal and
Mauritania late last year. And Indian protesters
burned hundreds of food-ration stores in West
Bengal last October, accusing the owners of
selling government-subsidized food on the
lucrative black market.
"This is a serious security issue," says Joachim
von Braun, director-general of the International
Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), in
Washington. In recent weeks, he notes, he has
been bombarded by calls from officials around
the world, all asking one question: How long will
the crisis last?

Nearly half a billion people are suffering
from some form of hunger; 10,000 of them
die of starvation each week in Africa, Asia
and Latin America. There are all too familiar
severe shortages of food in the sub
THE WORLD FOOD CRISIS
For nation shall rise against nation . . . and there
shall be famines and troubles; these are the
beginnings of sorrows. —Mark 13:8
Nothing is older to man than his struggle for food.
From the time the early hunters stalked the
mammoths and the first sedentary "farmers"
scratched the soil to coax scrawny grain to grow,
man has battled hunger.
History is replete with his failures. The Bible
chronicles one famine after an other; food was in
such short supply in ancient Athens that visiting
ships had to share their stores with the city; Romans
prayed at the threshold of Olympus for food.
Every generation in medieval Europe suffered
famine.
After World War II, however, it seemed
that man at long last was winning the
battle against hunger.
Bumper harvests in many nations, notably the U.S.,
created food surpluses in the West, while the
development of "miracle seeds" brought the hope
that the densely populated poor countries would
soon attain self-sufficiency.
Then, Since 2006, this optimism turned to despair
as hunger and famine began ravaging hundreds of
millions of the poorest citizens in at least 40 nations.
The world's reserves* of grain have
reached a 22-year low, equal to about 26
days' supply, compared with a 95-day supply in
1961, according to Lester Brown, a leading U.S. food
expert. Low harvests and high prices have forced the
traditional surplus-producing nations to curtail the
amount of food that they normally give as aid to the
hungry nations.

EARTHQUAKE IN
HISTORY OF HUMANITY.

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit the
capital of Haiti Jan. 12, and
thousands are presumed dead.
Here's a look at some of
the most unforgiving
earthquakes in history
1556: Shaanxi, China--
The deadliest quake of all time
might be one of the least talked
about, considering it occurred
nearly 450 years ago. Centered in
China's central Shaanxi province,
the 1556 quake claimed the lives of
some 830,000 people. Why the
massive death toll?
Shaanxi Province, China
January 23, 1556
Magnitude: approximately 8
Death Toll: 830,000
Blame the quake's strength (8.0 on
the Richter scale, or more than 30
times more powerful than the
recent quake in Haiti) as well as
timing and location. The pre-
modern structures were utterly
unable to withstand a quake of
such force, and massive
landslides contributed to the
casualties. All told, an area some
500 miles wide was wiped out.

---------------------------------------
Damghan, Iran
December 22, 1856
Magnitude: unknown
Death Toll: 200,000
-----------------------------------
1908: Messina, Italy
By today's standards, the
earthquake that struck
beneath the Messina Strait —
which separates the regions of
Sicily and Calabria — on
December 28, 1908, was a
magnitude 7.5.
A subsequent tsunami sent
waves as much as 40 feet
high crashing into the Italian
coast. More than 80,000
people were killed and dozens
of towns destroyed. Refugees
from Messina were relocated
to cities throughout Italy.
Many were eventually
transported to North America,
aboard ships like the Florida
— which, before reaching New
York City, collided with
another vessel, killing three
already traumatized Italian
passengers.
KNOWLEDGEFINANCIAL.COM
1920: Haiyuan, China
The Dec. 16, 1920 Haiyuan
earthquake — which registered a
7.8 magnitude on the Richter
scale — caused rivers to change
course and sent landslides
pouring down mountains.
Destruction stretched across
seven Chinese provinces. Sujiahe,
a town in in Xiji County, was
completely buried under a
landslide. An estimated 200,000
people died in the disaster, which
was felt as far away as Norway.
---------------------------------------
1923: Kanto, Japan
Shortly before noon on September
1, 1923, an earthquake measuring
7.9 on the Richter scale sent
shockwaves through the Tokyo-
Yokohama metropolitan area. The
violent tremors left few buildings
habitable and prompted a tsunami
that surged up to 40 ft. (12 m.) high.
But the damage continued for
days: by the time the fires
stemming from the quake were
contained, 90% of Yokohama's
buildings were reportedly
damaged or in ruins, and some
two-fifths of Tokyo's had been
destroyed — leaving half its
population homeless. Nearly
143,000 people died.

Xining, China
May 22, 1927

In a matter of minutes, an October
earthquake measuring 7.3 turned
the city of Ashgabat into a pile of
rubble. A thousand Soviet doctors,
nurses and other medical
personnel flooded in from Moscow
and other cities to aid sufferers in
what is now Turkmenistan.
Despite their efforts, 110,000
people perished.

1970: Chimbote, Peru
The Great Peruvian Earthquake hit
the coastal town of Chimbote, Peru
on May 31, 1970 — measuring a 7.9
magnitude on the Richter scale. The
epicenter of the quake was 15 miles
away from the city, in the Pacific
Ocean, yet the disaster claimed the
lives of some 70,000 people and left
more than 800,000 homeless.
Landslides, with debris traveling at
speeds of up to 200 mph down the
sides of the Navado Huascaran
mountain, destroyed whole villages.
Tremors could be felt in Lima —
some 400 miles away.
--------------------------------------------------
knowledgefinancial.com
1976: Tangshan, China---
China has the misfortune to have
had the second deadliest
earthquake on record, the 1976
Great Tangshan Earthquake, which
struck in the country's northeast. It'd
be more accurate to call this a binary
quake: an aftershock that struck 16
hours after the initial temblor
measured an identical 7.8 on the
Richter scale and was equally
destructive.
Death estimates are hard to pin
down — initial reports placed the toll
at nearly 700,000, but those have
since been revised down to some
250,000. Compounding the massive
casualty count was the decision by
the Chinese government to accept
no international aid in the aftermath
of the quakes.

HAITI, After the Oil Crisis, a Food Crisis. BU,
FOOD CRISIS IS NOT ONLY IN HAITI..
Is the world headed for a food crisis? India,
Mexico and Yemen have seen food riots this year.
Argentines boycotted tomatoes during the
country's recent presidential elections when the
vegetable became more expensive than meat;
and in Italy, shoppers organized a one-day boycott
of pasta to protest rising prices.
In late October, the Russian government, hoping
to ease tensions ahead of parliamentary
elections early next year, announced a price
freeze for milk, bread and other foods through the
end of January.
What's the cause for these shortages and price
hikes? Expensive oil, for the most part.

Add this to the list of items that could seriously threaten world peace:
The United States’ Worst DISASTERS & Earthquakes
As Measured By Death Toll... -----SEE BELOW!
December 9, 2009—In response to
the severity of the food crisis and the
need for prompt action, the World Bank Group
set up the Global Food Crisis Response
Program (GFRP) in May 2008 to provide
immediate relief to countries hard hit by food
high prices.
The Bank response has been articulated in
coordination with the United Nations’ High-
Level Task Force (HLTF) on food security.
Through its response, the Bank is supporting
the implementation of the joint Comprehensive
Framework for Action
The World Food Crisis
Sources and Solutions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An acute food crisis has struck the world in
2008. This is on top of a longer-term crisis of
agriculture and food that has already left
billions hungry and malnourished. In order to
understand the full, dire implications of what is
happening today it is necessary to look at the
interaction between these short-term and long-
term crises.
Both crises arise primarily from the for-profit
production of food, fiber, and now biofuels, and
the rift between food and people that this
inevitably generates.
‘Routine’ Hunger before the Current Crisis
Of the more than 6 billion people living in the
world today, the United Nations estimates that
close to 1 billion suffer from chronic hunger.
But this number, which is only a crude estimate,
leaves out those suffering from vitamin and
nutrient deficiencies and other forms of
malnutrition.
The total number of food insecure people who
are malnourished or lacking critical nutrients is
probably closer to 3 billion—about half of
humanity.
The severity of this situation is made clear by
the United Nations estimate of over a year ago
that approximately 18,000 children die daily as
a direct or indirect consequence of malnutrition
(Associated Press, February 18, 2007).
Lack of production is rarely the reason that
people are hungry. This can be seen most
clearly in the United States, where despite the
production of more food than the population
needs, hunger remains a significant problem.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
in 2006 over 35 million people lived in food-
insecure households, including 13 million
children.
Due to a lack of food adults living in over 12
million households could not eat balanced
meals and in over 7 million families someone
had smaller portions or skipped meals. In close
to 5 million families, children did not get enough
to eat at some point during the year.
