  • After sweeping up sorghum seeds spilled on the ground during the distribution of emergency food supplies by the United Nations World Food Program, a woman in Agok, a town in the contested Abyei region where tens of thousands of people fled in 2011 after an attack by soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan on most parts of Abyei, sifts the precious seeds from the dirt in order to take them home for her family. Although the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement called for residents of Abyei--which sits on the border between Sudan and South Sudan--to hold a referendum on whether they wanted to align with the north or the newly independent South Sudan, the government in Khartoum and northern-backed Misseriya nomads, excluded from voting as they only live part of the year in Abyei, blocked the vote and attacked the majority Dinka Ngok population. The African Union has proposed a new peace plan, including a referendum to be held in October 2013, but it has been rejected by the Misseriya and Khartoum. The Catholic parish of Abyei, with support from Caritas South Sudan and other international church partners, has maintained its pastoral presence among the displaced and assisted them with food, shelter, and other relief supplies.

  • A girl eats porridge in a care center for orphans and other vulnerable children in Chidyamanga, a village in southern Malawi that has been hard hit by drought in recent years, leading to chronic food insecurity, especially during the "hunger season," when farmers are waiting for the harvest. The ACT Alliance is working with farmers in this village to switch to alternative, drought-resistant crops, as well as using irrigation and other improved techniques to increase agricultural yields. In Chidyamanga, residents have set aside a section of farmland where they work together to grow food especially for the orphans--many of whom lost their parents to AIDS--and other children in the center. Three times a week, the children come to the center, sing and play and eat a nutritious meal.

  • Children living in the Habile Camp for internally displaced persons go to school in the village of Koukou Angarana, Chad. They also eat their lunch there; this girl is reaching for a plate of food that she will share with several other children. Some 28,000 people live in precarious conditions in this camp. More than 180,000 residents of eastern Chad have been displaced by violence spilling over from neighboring Darfur, inter-ethnic conflict, and fighting between rebels and the Chadian government.

I get up at two o’clock in the morning. My mum does the tortillas. She does good tortillas. <br />
<br />
My favourite food is rice. Sometimes we don’t have much food. I’m hungry."

  • Three-year old Pajal Deng savors the flavor of wild leaves as he eats with his family in Pamat, a village in South Sudan's Lol State where a persistent drought has destroyed crops, left people hungry, and pushed up incidences of malnutrition. His family has received food vouchers from a local aid organization supported by Christian Aid, a member of the ACT Alliance. The vouchers allowed the families to buy the food they needed, while supporting local traders and markets. Yet it wasn't enough, and Pajal's mother goes into the bush to harvest so-called "hunger foods" so her children have something to eat.<br />

  • Adut Dheiu holds the wild leaves she feeds her family in Pamat, a village in South Sudan's Lol State where a persistent drought has destroyed crops, left people hungry, and pushed up incidences of malnutrition. Dheiu's five children, three of whom are pictured here, often don't go to school because without food they are too weak to study. The family has received food vouchers from a local aid organization supported by Christian Aid, a member of the ACT Alliance. The vouchers allowed families like hers to buy the food they needed, while supporting local traders and markets. Yet it wasn't enough, and Dheiu goes into the bush to harvest the so-called "hunger foods" so her children have something to eat.

  • Atouc Dut sifts sorghum she had ground in Malek Miir, a village in South Sudan's Lol State where a persistent drought has destroyed crops and left people hungry.

  • Regina Abuk displays wild fruits on which she and her neighbors survive in Yang Kuel, a village in South Sudan's Lol State where a persistent drought has destroyed crops and left people hungry. The fruit--a so-called "hunger food"--must be dried, pulverized, and boiled before it can be eaten.<br />

A local partner of Christian Aid, a member of the ACT Alliance, dug a new well for the community in 2016, providing a source of safe water and saving Abuk a one-hour walk to a well. The organization has also distributed food vouchers to hungry families in the region.

  • Migrants wait in line for food in a migrant refuge near the railway line in Apizaco, Mexico. The refuge is run by lay people and supported mainly by church groups. Migrants often arrive in exhausted, dehydrated, hungry and in need of medical attention. This point on the migrant journey from Honduras takes about a month to reach, including about two weeks walking in southern Mexico, then long and dangerous train rides on the rail network known as La Bestia. The refuge allows migrants to stay up to 48 hours.

  • A distribution of food, tents and other emergency supplies dissolved into chaos when a group of men from a neighboring village invaded a January 30 distribution organized by the Lutheran World Federation, a member of the ACT Alliance, in the village of Gressier outside of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Here a Haitian police officer pushes the crowd back with his shotgun. A police woman eventually fired two shots into the air, motivating the crowd to flee. A January 12 earthquake ravaged the Caribbean nation, leaving hundreds of thousands hungry and increasingly frustrated and desperate.

  • An evangelical church group from San Diego, USA, visits the El Chaparral camp of asylum seekers in Tijuana, Mexico. While church members lays out a table of food brought by the group, and a queue of hungry migrants forms behind it, a male pastor shouts prayers excitedly into a loudspeaker and another lays his hands on women 'to heal them'. Once lengthy prayers are said, food is served. Church groups come to the camp every day, some require a lot of attention and participation from the migrants than others before they serve them food, others quickly bless the food and distribute it. For some the long services are a welcome distraction, and they provide spiritual sustenance in a desperate situation.
