= Hunger in Ecuador =

In Ecuador, hunger is an issue that affects -directly or indirectly- all the country. Even with that, it is considered that nowadays, as the government has been implementing new methods to fight puberty and malnutrition, hunger is being slowly controlled. In 1999, 26% of the total population suffered by this. In 2006, it was reduced until 18% and then until 13% of Ecuador was in that situation. In the Amazon zone, 24% of the habitants are in a state of starvation. This country is, however, in a constant battle, so that they expect to give food to everyone one day in the future.
