Aid Saves Children
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) BHABUA (Bihar State), May 7. Gifts of food from many parts of the world are helping to save a whole generation of children in northern India from slow death by starvation or crippling malnutrition. Every day five million children in the droughtstricken states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh sit down to a free midday meal of hot gruel supplied by relief organisations from the United States, Europe, and other parts of India. Without it hundreds of thousands of these children would die, and many more would be stunted for life in mind and body through bone and brain damage.
