What wrenched my heart was the dignity with which these children were collecting the scraps. Gently trying not to be noticed. You can see by their muteness how traumatised they are.
In our superior world of money, homes , food and heat, we have never,ever had to survive to the extent that these children are displaying. To be able to keep alive and find some kind of norishment and water and keep clothes on their backs. The rawness of their plight, which isn't even new as India and other 3rd world populas are equal in this abuse, has woken me up to the human spirit to survive. These children have taught me something today.
These children were filmed barely alive. What world do we live in?

The problem is too, that the people that DO care, are the ones that have absolutely no way of doing anything about it. It's the worst feeling of helplessness.

Makes me sad to be a human when I read or see things like this. In the western world we throw more food away than we need , yet these people are starving. Its about time we all woke up and demand the our govts do some thing. If there was oil and resources there then we`d invade and liberate them. What a crock of chit. The whole system is wrong and we should hang our heads in shame. So many starving children and no one cares.

While I'm sure NKs govt sucks and all that.. if starving kids was a reason for war.. Tanzania should have been occupied long ago.
Check out a movie called "Darwins Nightmare".. same scenes of starving orphan kids, worse considering the rape stories and fight scenes where half dozen little kids literally scrap each-other for a handful of rice.. a similar insult to humanity caused by powerful corporations who grease local politicians. A situation worse than NK imo.
