This crisis is so tender and near and dear. It is horrifying that such innocent souls are lacking basic nutrition and this is effecting every part of there life. Because they are so week form not eating they can't do much to fend for themselves especially because alot of them are orphaned children. It is horrifying that it is tough for aid to push through to these areas and the further they gain access to the more horrible the sights are. I can't imagine the children longing for there parents they are seperated from and longing for some sort of security in there lives. There food is gone there water is unsafe but it is nice to know that aid workers eventhough it is a tough site to see are remaining to truly help out.

One of the biggest fears of a parent, is that they die and can not protect their children especially when they are young, like the children in the article.  The mother has a lot of faith in her child to leave her by herself at the age of 12. It is a sad reminder that some people do not get a childhood and life is very hard. I hope they all get the food that they need.

Anything fellow human beings are struggling with hunger we as humans must find a way to be able t o  help them out. I feel like if we are starving we would want as Americans someone to step in and help us. It is the right and the only way to do things to be honest. I feel like Nigeria is too corrupt to help itself at this point.
