Almost two billion people, out of the 7) suffer from some sort of malnutrition. 2.6 children die every year because of malnutrition.

Starvation
The definition of starvation is "severe deficiency of caloric energy needed to maintain human life". In the 21 century, there are many people who, along side of malnutrition, also suffer for starvation. Starvation can also be categorized as the worst type of malnutrition. If a person is starving for too long, the person's organ and other parts might be permanently damaged due to the lack of food. Starvation is usually caused when the amount of energy release is more than the amount of energy intake. With a lack of external energy, the body is forced to use the body fat. This is what causes a person to become thin.
