Fewer People Live in Poverty But More are Hungry, U.N. Says

According to the World Bank, "there are about 1.3 billion people in developing countries who live in poverty. But that number is going down. According to the World Health Organization, there are about 925 million hungry people in the world. That's one in seven people, and that number is going up."
