Save the Children has launched its next phase of the No Child Born to Die campaign with a series of hard-hitting films calling for solidarity against hunger.

A campaign of films featuring celebrities including Myleene Klass, Natasha Kaplinsky and Erin O'Connor has been released across YouTube, outlining the 'hidden hunger crisis' around the world.

The Face to Face with Hunger films come together around the central campaign film, The Fight Against Hunger - a dramatic overview of the worldwide hunger epidemic. Every year, it says, 7.6 million children around the globe die from preventable illness, a third of which are from the root-cause of hunger. 

Last year the No Child Born to Die campaign was supported by the ITV show Born to Shine, which raised 2.1m for Save the Children.

This latest phase of the campaign hopes to apply pressure on politicians to take action."Whenever world leaders meet, let's put hunger at the top of their to-do list", the film concludes.

A spokeswoman for Save the Children said: "The films that we make provide life and colour to the messages that we are communicating. They bring the statistics to life with real stories and help people out there realise that hunger and malnutrition is a problem that happens to real children in real time every day, and that those who view the films need to act to create change."
