AIDS and FamineDescribe the impact of government stability on the distribution of resources to combat AIDS and famine across Africa. • If people are sick, what happens?• Aids kills young adults, especially women - the people whose labor is
most needed. When the rains come, people must work 16 hours a day planting and weeding the crop. If that critical period is missed, the family will go hungry. In a community depleted by Aids, each working adult must produce more to feed the same number of dependents - not just children but sick adults, too.
• Just as HIV destroys the body's immune system, the epidemic of HIV and Aids has disabled African countries.
• As a result of HIV, the worst-hit African countries have undergone a social breakdown that is now reaching a new level: African societies' capacity to resist famine is fast eroding.
• Hunger and disease have begun reinforcing each other.
