In Sierra Leone, a steady rise in inflation is forcing many families to cut down on what they eat.
The situation is made worse by the devastation caused to food production by both the civil war and the Ebola epidemic.
Al Jazeera's @Ahmed Idris reports from the capital Freetown, on the struggle for one family to put food on the table.

Hopefully with the high rate of African Diasporans getting ready to come in this will change. If Sierra Leon was to do a year of return like Ghana it will jump-start the economy for the better.

People who are overweight also suffer from malnutrition. Poor people can only eat cheap carbs and that's why they are fat, but they are not nourished - which is what food is supposed to do.

Prices of rice and flour and pasta and protein have TRIPLED in the UK too. millions in poverty, state benefits have not risen in over ten years. the poor have seen the value of their money drop 300% in just one year. BUT NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THAT. If the 6th richest country in the world has 1 in 3 children living in poverty and food prices tripling... what hope is there really for poorer nations?

It isn't that simple in these countries. You think global nonprofits haven't thought of that in places like this and Africa? Water is a luxury in a lot of these places and they barely have enough to drink. Soil conditions are usually bad for farming and most local sources of water such as rivers and ponds are heavily polluted with hazardous chemical waste because illegal miners just flush the waste in the local ecosystem. Growing food with contaminated and very dangerous chemicals or human waste creates food unfit for human consumption. These poor countries have terrible waste management and human waste and factory waste are also dumped into local rivers and lakes as well as the ocean.

I'm not religious. But I agree, may all the gods of all the Faith's, whether they be the true God or not, make it easier to suffer the wrongfully desires of Man. For is it not written, 'that those who have, must look after those who have not, as if they were family '? I think it goes something like that. But the ugly thing about it is. Do we? Bless

Please, we are the reason for the suffering we are facing in S/L 🇸🇱 let leave the war, ebola and COVID-19 out of this we are not the only country that face war, ebola and COVID-19 let put politics aside. The poor people in Sierra Leone are very selfish and wicked. Why I said so because if you go to this villagers and you want to bring something good to their community they will try to let you down by stealing the only encourage someone who will come and give them half half money to eat for that day but they can never support you to invest for the future. If only we change our way walahi Allah will put more blessing in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
