BITENA HEALTH CENTRE, BEDESSA TOWN, WOLAYITA ZONE, SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA, 20TH AUGUST 2008: Masaret Linta, 17, has come to the outpatient theraputic care centre (OTP) with her malnourished 4 year old sister Brucknesh Linta. She is newly married herself with a 9 month old baby, but her husband will not allow her to feed her young sister as he says the little girl is not part of the family. So the only food the 4 year old eats is the sachets of plumy nut concentrated food suppliment that are given out at the feeding centre. Photo by Mike Goldwater/Reportage by Getty Images
