Hunger
In politics, humanitarian aid, and the social sciences, hunger is defined as a condition in which a person does not have the physical or financial capability to eat sufficient food to meet basic nutritional needs for a sustained period. In the field of hunger relief, the term ''hunger'' is used in a sense that goes beyond the common desire for food that all humans experience, also known as an '' appetite''. The most extreme form of hunger, when malnutrition is widespread, and when people have started dying of starvation through lack of access to sufficient, nutritious food, leads to a declaration of famine.

In many cases, hunger resulted from food supply disruptions caused by war, plagues, or adverse weather.

They are not immortal but do not age after reaching physical maturity and are extremely strong and difficult to kill. Miriam discovers that some vampire traits, such as prolonged youth, can be transmitted to humans by performing a blood transfusion.

Hunger (poem)
"Hunger" is one of the best known poems by the internationally acclaimed Indian English poet Jayanta Mahapatra.

Structure and criticism The poem is notable for its directness in approaching the taboo topic of the sexual trade involving a father and his daughter. In the second line, the fisherman asks casually "will you have her?". H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
