Executive Summary for the State of Oklahoma
The Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma and the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma, the “Oklahoma Food Banks,” are the largest private hunger-relief organizations in the state. Food Banks are the single most important source of food for Oklahoma's hunger relief agencies. Volunteers are the backbone of our work and one of our most valuable resources in the fight against hunger.
This report provides a comprehensive look at hunger in Oklahoma and how the Oklahoma Food Banks and their partner agencies are working together to understand and address the needs of Oklahomans who find themselves in need of food assistance. The information found in this report includes results from Hunger in America 2014, a nation-wide study conducted by Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger-relief charity in the United States. Additional data was provided by state and national reports on poverty and hunger. The information is used to help guide the development of programs and solutions that improve food security for individuals and their households and inform public awareness and policy development for addressing hunger in Oklahoma.
The Hunger Wall is a medieval defensive wall of the Lesser Town of Prague, today's Czech Republic. It was built on Petřín Hill between 1360 and 1362 by order of Charles IV.
Marl from quarries on Petřín Hill was used as construction material. The purpose of the construction was to strengthen the fortifications of Prague Castle and Malá Strana against any attack from the west or south. Originally the wall was 4 to 4.5 metres high and 1.8 metres wide and was equipped with battlements and eight bastions.
The wall was repaired in 1624, further strengthened in the middle of 18th century and repaired or modified several times later (in modern era in 1923-25 and 1975).

As the Hunger strikers settled in to camp out side the Government Ministry Building in Howler, it was unknown how they would be treated by the local police, who in the past have been very aggressive towards un approved political protests.
Day 20 of the Purdue Hunger Strike to end sweat-shop production of Purdue apparel. Having received word that President Jischke will again defer signing the Designated Suppliers Program (DSP), and after marching up and down the Administration Building's steps, one starving striking student feels the hunger. This is the last photograph of Nathan Jun just before he collapses at the steps of Jischke's door. SIGN THE DSP NOW!
The first three days of the Hunger strike consisted of a complete fast. No food or any liquids where consumed. After a visit to hospital by two of the strikers (Haider and Rebar) supporters convinced the strikers to take liquids. Since then the Hunger strikers days have been accented by regular consumption of strong Kurdish tea.
