摘要

At the Trinity hospital in Malawi's southern Nsanje district, three year-old Mboyi is lying listless, his face against the wall. His belly is badly bloated and skin is peeling off his legs. His mother explains that the family has not been able to harvest anything this year, due to poor rains. Mothers in the area are already bringing malnourished children to hospitals in alarming numbers. Yet it will be another six months before the next harvest. Aid agencies are sounding the alarm, hoping that help will come before emaciated children's haunting images, such as those recently seen in Niger, appear on western television screens. The UN'S World Food Programme (WFP) says that close to 12m people across southern Africa will need food aid before the next harvest. The agency is short of more than $150m to feed them over the next six months.
