Has Starvation Become a Weapon of Conflict?

One child living in a warzone could die of hunger every minute. That's the startling assessment from the UK based charity Save The Children. It's released a report on the use of hunger as a weapon in some of the world's worst conflicts. It says 4-and-a-half million children under five will need treatment for severe malnutrition before the end of this year. That's a 20 percent increase on 2016. 

Tens of thousands of children could die in Yemen, Afghanistan and South Sudan. But the biggest number of fatalities is expected in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where 300 thousand are at risk.
