One Person Dies from Hunger Every 4 Seconds While Number of Super Wealthy Individuals Soars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One person is dying of hunger every four seconds - that's the warning
from a coalition of humanitarian groups who say global hunger is
spiraling out of control. Oxfam, Save the Children and other groups say
345 million people are now experiencing acute hunger - double the number
from 2019. Meanwhile, a new report finds there are now over 215,000
individuals worldwide who are worth more than $50 million. That's an
increase of 46,000 people over the past year, this according to the bank
Credit Suisse.
