Hunger and malnutrition in the DRC

This blog, from The Guardian, is the very sad story of a tiny girl who dies of malnutrition in the DRC.  What malnutrition?  In the Congo?  It hadn't ever occured to me, although it probably should have.  As the blog mentions, years of war and disruption will necessarily have an effect on all the systems required for civil society.  

But interestingly, sadly, not surprisingly, with all the reading I've done about the situation in the Congo, this is the first I'm aware of it.  But a quick google search turns up all this:

from the World Food Programme 2010

from UNICEF 2008

from Doctors Without Borders 2006

and this from BMC Public Health 2011
