Jessie Davidson on 18 Nov 09This year, Guatemala is facing an extreme food shortage. 25 children have already died from starvation, and millions of communities are at risk for malnutrition. The UN Food Program has distributed nutritional biscuits to the most affected areas. The food shortage was brought on my drought which led crops to failure. This adds to the extreme figures of malnutrition, which almost half of Guatemala's children suffer from.
