This picture impacts me emotionally because of the little 5 month old boy who is laying in the bed. He is so sick and malnourished and so is his mom. His mom isn't able to take care of him because she can't afford any food and can hardly take care of herself. It must be really hard to see your child dying and knowing there is nothing you can do to save him. NYTimes 2014It is hard to see how difficult life is for some people when we rarely have problems with starvation and severe malnutrition.
