Horror


This is the 1994 Pulitzer Prize-winning photo from photojournalist Kevin Carter taken during the Sudan famine.

The image shows a famine-stricken child crawling toward a UN food camp located a kilometer away. A vulture is waiting for the child to die to feast on its body.

No one knew what happened to the child. Carter committed suicide three months after taking this photograph.

Will the new aide promises from the G8 leaders finally eliminate hunger and poverty? Or will they choose to continue to spend millions in un-winnable war games?

And when will the world finally open its eyes to the inhumane conditions of children around the world, whom we call our future? Think.
