The situation in Gaza right now is desperate. A large percentage of the population is experiencing hunger or even dying of starvation.

What we are seeing every day in Gaza is devastating.

We have seen reports of families eating leaves or animal feed.

Women giving birth to malnourished babies with little or no medical care.

And children dying from malnutrition and dehydration.

Videos show people using bird seeds to bake bread, or giving newborn babies dates to suck on because their mothers

can't provide enough milk. As of a report in December and January, nine and ten children under two,

and more than nine and ten pregnant and breastfeeding women were consuming two food groups a day

or less, and nearly two-thirds of households were eating just one meal a day.

Of course, hunger isn't limited to Gaza.

Millions of people are affected by hunger, especially in Somalia, Afghanistan, and Sudan.

While famine causes severe effects immediately, it can also affect people's health years down the road,

and possibly even the health of their children and grandchildren.

Science journalist Amanda Regeri wrote about this in an online news story for Scientific American.

And today we're going to break down what that means.
