Malnourished? This is a gross understatement. The picture shown here is that of Kwashiorkor, which is a result of starvation, not simply malnourishment. When I see Kwashiorkor, I can instantly tell what it is because we witnessed it in food-blockaded "Biafra" during the Nigeria-Biafra civil war of 1967 to 1970. As an engineered product of a warfare, while Kwashiokor kills slowly, weapons of mass destruction kill instantly. It is unfortunate that overall, our world of this 21st century has not, by and large, advanced any further in its moral corpus than the Nigeria-Biafra world of the 20th century. Quite unfortunate, indeed!
