Yes, millions of people around the world live in deserts. As long as there is some sort of water source available as well as food, people live in deserts.Millions upon millions of people around the world live in deserts and the

vast majority (over 99%) live in cities and towns where food is readily

available in stores and markets or restaurants. I live in the Chihuahuan

Desert and have a Wal*Mart SuperCenter a half mile from my home where I

can purchase nearly any food I desire. There are also a number of

restaurants and fast food establishments within a short walking distance

of my home. For those who live far from a town or city, many of them grow

at least part of their own food and purchase other food items when they

make an occasional trip into town to stock up on supplies.

My home also has indoor running water but I am also able to purchase

bottled water at the Wal*Mart close to my home. The same is available to

most others who live in deserts.
