Neglect of basic necessities

Incidence

Neglect of basic necessities remains a pervasive issue affecting millions globally, with the World Bank estimating that over 700 million people lived in extreme poverty in 2022, lacking access to adequate food, clean water, shelter, and healthcare. This problem is not confined to low-income countries; even in developed nations, marginalized populations frequently experience deprivation of essential needs, exacerbating health disparities and social exclusion.
In 2023, a humanitarian crisis unfolded in Sudan, where ongoing conflict led to the widespread neglect of basic necessities. According to UNICEF, over 13 million children were left without reliable access to clean water, nutrition, and medical care.
