Haitian children malnourished

Aid workers say at least 26 severely malnourished children have died in Haiti in recent days, and they fear many more deaths unless more help comes.



Max Cosci, who heads the Belgian contingent of Doctors without Borders in Haiti, says at least 65 other severely malnourished children have been treated on site, or evacuated to hospitals.



Haiti has been hit by spiralling food prices, which resulted in riots last April.



The situation was compounded in August and September, when four storms claimed close to 800 lives and crippled food production.
