Nearly two dozen people were injured as police opened fire in air and used batons and tear gas to disperse thousands of protesters who turned violent while demanding a wage hike to meet the steep food prices in Bangladesh capital Dhaka.

It is a ‘silent famine’ in the all the poor nations as grains get converted to biofuel and other food products in the chain also rise in price.

Recently in Egypt and Philippines similar riots have taken place. African nations are worst hit. Even India and China are facing food shortages and the common people are using credit cards to fulfill their food requirements.

In United States common middleclass households are seeing their weekly grocery bill is rising by 40 to50% over the last two years.
