In a way i agree with Jee.69 your first answer the UK, for one reason, we still have everything, but no one likes us, and non of us is happy even though we still have more money than others in the world.

I feel sorry for the other countries that have been mentioned and it amazes me as they have nothing but they can still be loving and smile and laugh even though the life around them is dying,  It makes you cry i blame there governments when they live with loads of money and big houses they could help there country more instead of the greed they have.

Answer 9

The biggest ever study of international urban conditions discovered that one billion people live in absolute squalor, without water or sanitation, public infrastructure or security of tenure. The research was carried out by the UN human settlement programme, UN-Habitat, based in Nairobi, Kenya. The Kibera district of Nairobi is the largest slum in the world, containing approximately three quarters of a million people. The Dhavari area of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) and the Orangi district of Karachi, Pakistan, are only slightly smaller. In West Africa the Ghanaian city of Tema harbours the Ashaiman slum, which has grown larger than the city proper.
