This is what the family encountered during the search

The families whose children were missing for 11 days, This is what the family encountered during the search. This year’s Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), released on Monday (October 19, 2022) by a United Nations agency and an Oxford University research center, says it is the first time since the index was compiled that the number of poor in Africa has overtaken the figure for South Asia. This is partly because newer statistics have become available for South Asia – where 385 million people now live in poverty – but also because India has made substantial progress in improving the lives of its people. Nevertheless, India remains the country with the poorest people – 229 million – while Nigeria has the next highest number – 97 million. The United Nations Development Program and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative published the index in the United Kingdom. It is based on household surveys in 111 countries across the world. Unlike older methods of judging poverty by income alone, the MPI uses a wider range of criteria – such as access to education, health, housing, drinking water, sanitation, and electricity – to assess poverty levels.
