Despite Aid, Malnutrition in Darfur Rises
from nytimes.com
Full Article

Comment from the contributor:

From The New York Times --
Despite the world's largest aid operation, Darfur's child malnutrition rates have increased drastically. Some attribute this to increases in tribal fighting and the number of people it displaced, insufficient access for aid workers, and a lack of security guarding the food that is sent.
