did you know that 130 000 families in
israel suffer from food insecurity
[Music]
000 families in israel mothers are
forced to reduce the variety of foods
they feed their children parents that
need to decide between clothing their
children and sending them to bed hungry
no israel is not a third bold country
food insecurity is not a third world
problem it stubbornly persists
even in a modern world
what changed
how did we advance it became an
invisible problem families suffer
privately
secretively
silently it affects them physically
emotionally medically silently
nutritional distress that harms physical
health their emotional state and their
mental and social situation this is a
reality that must change
food is the cornerstone of humanity's
social structure in the absence of a
decent supply of food the structure
loses its stability
and with the absence of food entirely
the structure is set to fall affecting
both individual and society
it sounds far off
academic but it's here in all of our
homes
studies say that exposure to such hunger
in early childhood can impair the
cognitive development and social psychic
of children throughout their lives and
cause irreversible damage in realizing
the potential in various spheres of life
including productive and economic this
means that if my child goes to sleep on
an empty stomach if they have no food
security they will probably be a lesser
student they will most likely not be
able to properly develop
it was a difficult time
it still is the corona crisis eight
hundred thousand israeli residents
reported that they reduced their food
intake
eight hundred thousand people do you
understand the number and it will only
grow as the covet crisis and its effects
on unemployment continues and these will
only excavate health risk factors and
complications and mortality from kovid
as well as from diet dependent diseases
obesity diabetes heart disease and
different types of cancer because hunger
is not just going to bed with an empty
and sore stomach hunger destroys our
chance for equal opportunity it kills
our spirit our health our chance
this is not shown on television
because it is impossible to depict a
hungry soul
