Statements on disasters

There are too many wars. Money is used to buy weapons rather than food.
Most of the wealth from the South has been taken by richer countries.
Their health is so poor that they cannot do much to help themselves.
People in the South expect too much from charity. They should help themselves.
Countries need to become self-sufficient, and not rely on others.
As a richer country, we should help others achieve the things they need.
There is enough food for everyone in the world. The problem is that it is not fairly shared out.
The biggest problem is the number of people in the world. There are too many to feed and clothe.
