Ainda sobre o relatório 2005 do PNUD

The poor get poorer
Thursday September 8, 2005

And when they discuss development none must ignore the shocking facts that the world's 500 richest people have a combined income greater than that of the poorest 416 million, and that someone living in Zambia today has less chance of reaching 30 than someone born in England in 1840. Memories of the Asian tsunami have now been replaced by images of Hurricane Katrina. But every hour of every day 1,200 children die far away from media attention. A credible UN that is supported by its members is the right place to advance ways to end the devastating - and permanent - tsunami of world poverty.
