Poverty is now apparent in the form of a food crisis in many of Iran\u2019s provinces.<\/p>\n
In a country with such massive reserves of oil and gas, the phenomenon of \u201cpoverty\u201d must be directly correlated with \u201csocial inequality\u201d; social inequality can be found in all areas of life, be it \u201csocial opportunities, work, education, culture, economy, or nutrition\u201d.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s current food crisis, which the public media deliberately refer to as \u201cfood security\u201d, has worsened so considerably that the regime\u2019s officials have had to announce \u201cdanger alarm\u201d for four provinces.<\/p>\n
On 27th May 2018, a government-owned newsagency known as ILNA, addressed the ongoing increase in poverty and quoted a statement from a parliamentarian, in this regard: \u201cthe \u2018food security\u2019 in four of our provinces is on the verge of a crisis; Sistan and Baluchestan ranks the first, and is followed by Hormozgan, Bushehr, and Southern Khorasan, respectively\u201d.<\/p>\n
The crisis is also reflected in some of the challenges that the weaker class is facing; such as, nutrition deficiency, high disease rates of children and elderly, and extreme height or weight reductions of children.<\/p>\n
Malnutrition is so widespread in Iran that people are reportedly turning to domestic animals like \u201ccat-meat\u201d, for food.<\/p>\n
ISNA, another newsagency owned by the regime, unravelled this painful truth on 26th May 2018: \u201cWhat you see on this plate is the food of a family; what do you think it consists of?! of cat\u2019s meat! this family and dozens of other households who reside in this severely disadvantaged village named Zabol (located in Sistan & Baluchestan), are seriously struggling to survive; they\u2019re so hungry that they\u2019d even take a bite of a dead crow, if they have to\u201d.<\/p>\n
Whilst people are living in such inhumane conditions and struggling with their ever-growing problems, the regime is spending hundreds of billions of dollars of the country\u2019s wealth, on supporting Islamic fundamentalism, terrorism, and malicious nuclear activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
