The Second Sichuan Earthquake, April 21, 2013

An earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale struck south-western Sichuan, China on April 21, 2013 and the number of victims is rising. Already, almost 200 people have been killed and many more are still missing. About 6,700 people are injured and the conditions are grim. Hauntingly enough, Sichuan is exactly the place where the 2008 Great Sichuan Earthquake occurred five years ago, which measured 8.0 on the Richter scale.

Almost 17 million kids in the United States experience hunger at some point each year. That's more than the combined populations of New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
