Hungry in the City: Profiles of People Facing Hunger in Five Countries

Hungry in the City is a media brief from Panos London featuring a collection of stories from people in developing countries around the world who explain how they are surviving in an era of higher food prices, inflation, and hunger. The case studies explore the experiences of individuals and communities in five cities: Islamabad, Delhi, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Kampala; contact information for the point person in the organisation described in each case study is provided so that members of the media can follow up for further discussion. For the benefit of those reporting on these issues, the case studies are accompanied by statistics and article citations on food price hikes, inflation, urban living, and hunger.
