Physiological problems in Chad 🇹🇩

Chad currently has the lowest rate of GDP in the world which affects the
country's income. This makes Chad to become one of the least developed countries
in the world, Chad’s GDP per capita has contracted since 2015. Its GDP per capita (in
constant 2010 US dollars) was $710 in 2019, down significantly from $961 in 2014 and
lower than the average of $840 and $1,590 in low-income countries and Sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA), respectively.
So in between June and August 2023 around 6 million people were projected
to be food insecure, including 2.1 facing Crisis(IPC Phase 3) or even worse food
insecurity at the country level. The educational system is characterized by a low level
of schooling, with one out of two school age children out of school[ per cent are girls.
According to PASEC 2014, only 20 percent of children who finish their primary
school studies have a good foundation in reading and math in the two classroom
languages, French and Arabic. The rate of illiteracy among youth is around 70 per
cent, which is about more than 2 million youth who do not know how to read or
write. The situation is even more alarming among girls aged 15 to 24, where the rate
climbs to more than 77 per cent.
The academic level of teachers is generally low. Approximately three out of
four pupils are supervised by teachers whose highest level of education does not go
beyond secondary schooling. In 2020 life expectancy in Chad only reached an
average of 53 years old .
In Chad the life expectancy is 53 which can cause a lack of workers in jobs.
Also this will affect their income furthermore the country income.

Physiological problems in Liberia 🇱🇷
Liberia has made significant progress in the past decade in reducing poverty
and expanding basic service services to the people. However, despite these
achievements, food insecurity and malnutrition are still a big problem in the country.
In August 2022, the Liberia Food Security, Nutrition, Livelihoods and Markets
Assessment found 2.2 million people in Liberia suffering from food insecurity, which
is 47% of the families, with 39% of those moderately food insecure and 8% severely
food insecure.
As one of the least developed countries in the world, economic and national
stability are the main causes of homelessness in Liberia. In 2014, Liberia recorded
some of the highest Ebola virus case numbers worldwide. When Liberia announced
that the virus was no longer affecting people, the CDC recorded more than 10
thousand cases and 4,810 deaths, which led to nearly 6,000 children losing one or
both of their parents, causing them to live on the streets, homeless. Housing became
difficult for the frontlines of the Ebola fight, landlords, relatives, and foster homes
often decline children and volunteers who have contacted Ebola patients. Because
of that, Liberians often don't have jobs and shelters, and 70% of the urban population
lives in the slums.
The Ebola impacts led to the World Bank (2014a) using the CGE model to
predict GDP losses (2014) of approximately 3.4%, 2.1%, and 3.3% for Liberia, Guinea,
and Sierra Leone, respectively. Disruptions in local production and cross-border
trade, combined with panic buying, led to shortages, especially of food, and while
overall inflation was nearly doubled from 18% to 50%, inflation increased, which
reached nearly 45% for some essential food items, for example, rice and cassava.

Physiological problems in Eritrea 🇪🇷
Homeless rate: in 2014, about 416.857 Eritreans have been registered as
refugees, over 9% of the population in Eritrea. Also in 2015, it was reported about
39,000 Eritreans had applied for asylum by October, and also in October,10
members of Eritrea’s national soccer team applied for asylum in Botswana.
Regarding security in Eritrea, Though Asmara(the capital of Eritrea) is a safe
city, sometimes street crime is at work at night. Eritreans only have little access to
drinking safe water and lack social services such as healthcare. Only one-third of the
population has shelters while the others only have tents that are made out of plastic
sheets which can’t protect them from the severe weather in Eritrea.
Eritreans don't have access to clean food. Food hygiene is very bad and carries
a lot of dangerous diseases, only almost two-thirds of all households lack food
security. The government only provides primary education to children, but they fail
to teach pre-primary levels in which the kids can't study anything because they
didn’t even learn any basic things.
Their economy only relies on agriculture and fishing which make their salary
low which means they are unable to provide basic needs. With drought, famine and
war making poverty in Eritrea even more challenging, only 66% of people are barely
on the poverty line.
