UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Disparities between the number of chronically undernourished people and the rest of the world are unacceptable, U.N. officials said.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon spoke to world delegates at the U.N. headquarters to mark World Food Day. He noted in his statement that while the number of hungry people in the world fell from 1 billion last year to 925 million, it was "not nearly enough" to remedy undernourishment.
