CWN Editor's Note: Parishes in Austria tolled their bells for five minutes at 3:00 yesterday to draw attention to the 673 million people worldwide who suffer from hunger.
“This ringing is intended to send a strong signal: every day, people die of hunger or the consequences of hunger,” stated Caritas Austria, which organized the initiative in conjunction with the bishops’ conference. “At the same time, we are calling for commitment against hunger.”
