Nevertheless, we still have billions starving and suffering without even the most basic in nutrition or healthcare.

I otherwise agree with your post but I think that's too negative an appraisal of the current situation. What the last 30 years have seen is billions of people lifted from abject poverty into working poverty and maybe a billion or so people lifted from working poverty towards a comfortable middle-class lifestyle. The number of people living on a few dollars a day is currently roughly a billion. Much of this positive development has taken place in Asia. Hundreds of millions of Chinese people are now middle class. India has also seen the rise of the urban middle class as well as many other countries.
