Blog Action Day 2008: International Aid ― A Solution

Almost all of the deaths from hunger and disease that you see on this site http://www.poverty.com/ can be stopped. The cost to do this is about $195 billion a year, according to the United Nations. Twenty-two developed countries below have pledged to work towards each giving 0.7% (a little less than 1%) of their national income in international aid, which would raise the $195 billion. Some countries are slow to meet their pledge.
