Basic vs reality

Water shortage in many parts of the country! Feels so helpless sometimes. Why on earth some one dies because of thirst? Are we really living in 21st century, where we claim to have everything? If in the era of this so called modern world, some one dies because of hunger, thirst and extreme climates, then surely it's a defeat of the modernity. I am not saying this in anger. It's logical. In the textbooks of science we always read a question that asks us about the basic needs of human? And in response we used to write food, water and shelter as our answer. Now ask yourself. Do everyone around us have these basic amenities? Don't you hear and watch people dying coz of hunger, thirst and extreme weathers? Every year in winters people died coz of chilled weather. Than after 6 months same thing happens, but this time it's heat stroke which take away lives. The one who died like this, often they don't have shelter on their heads. WHO has got the data about the people who died coz of hunger. Many poor countries living below the poverty line. Poverty and hunger claiming their lives. Now in Maharashtra many parts have severe drought conditions. People living there are facing shortage of water. It's a crisis situation where we are trying hard to get food,water and shelter. Think are we heading towards high tech civilization or we just doomed ourselves by creating such situations?
