Nigerian archbishop says no one should die because they are hungry

No one needs to die a “needless death” due to being hungry, says Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.

He was speaking at Mass on Sunday, referring to the deaths of at least ten people following a stampede on Dec. 21 at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in the Maitama district of Abuja. More than a thousand people were evacuated from the church. The event was organized by an international Catholic charity, the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
