Impoverished children of gold miners eat a meager meal March 20, 2008 in a
shanty town on the outskirts of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Acute child poverty rose a
shocking 60 p
ercent in one year, according to Save the Children, as the
country's economy went into a free fall and the regime of President Robert
Mugage banned international aid agencies from delivering food to the
poor.
