Starvation is a severe deficiency in caloric energy intake needed to maintain human life. It is the most extreme form of malnutrition. In humans, prolonged starvation can cause permanent organ damage and eventually, death. The term inanition refers to the symptoms and effects of starvation. Starvation may also be used as a means of torture or execution.
According to the World Health Organization, hunger is the single gravest threat to the world's public health. The WHO also states that malnutrition is by far the biggest contributor to child mortality, present in half of all cases. Undernutrition is a contributory factor in the death of 3.1 million children under five every year. Figures on actual starvation are difficult to come by, but according to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the less severe condition of undernourishment currently affects about 842 million people, or about one in eight (12.5%) people in the world population.
The bloated stomach, as seen in the picture to the right, represents a form of malnutrition called kwashiorkor which is caused by insufficient protein despite a sufficient caloric intake. Children are more vulnerable to kwashiorkor whose advanced symptoms include weight loss and muscle wasting.
We all know what hunger feels like, but what happens to our bodies if we stop eating? What exactly is the science behind starvation?

Voices crying through the night
people starve and pray for bread
Darkness seems to take their life
they are living to be dead
Hey look at the world
open up your heart
spread your love around
Hey, feel the human pain
aren't you the same
Spirits have no name
[interlude]
Little children dying away
drowning flowers in the rain
All they know is fear and pain
have you nothing left to say ?
Hey look at the world
open up your heart
spread your love around
Hey, feel the human pain
aren't you the same
Spirits have no name
[interlude]
Voices crying through the night
people starve and pray for bread
Darkness seems to take their life
they are living to be dead
Hey look at the world
open up your heart
spread your love around
Hey, feel the human pain
aren't you the same
