Food crisis hurting poor children in India

The UN Children's Fund is concerned about the impact of the global food crisis on poor children in India.

A UNICEF team recently visited the north of the country, where malnutrition rates have skyrocketed.

Sarah Crowe, UNICEF's communications chief for South Asia, previously served in Africa and even covered famines there. But she told UN Radio's Alpha Diallo that she was shocked by what she saw in northern India.
