Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Her baby asleep on her back; a woman in Camp Lazarus; in Niamey; Niger; windows wheat by tossing it into the air. The Tuareg nomads in the refugee camp have survived in the desert for centuries by drinking quarts of milk every day but now; their livestock dead in last year's drought; they are living on grain with milk only for the children. Their calorie intake is 850 per day; below the survival limit.
