MARADI, NIGER - AUGUST 06: A malnourished young Nigerois boy is helped to his his feet by his mother whilst receiving shelter and care at an Medecins Sans Frontier Medical Clinic on August 6, 2005 in Maradi, Niger. A food crisis is threatening the lives of thousands in the impoverished West African nation. A combination of severe drought and a locust plague has caused the famine which has affected at least 2 million people in Niger and approximatly 5 million in the region. Niger is the second poorest country in the world, with 64 percent of the 12 millions inhabitants surviving on less than USD 1 (81 euro cents) day. (Photo by Daniel Berehulak/Getty Images)
