THE HORROR OF POVERTY.

In 1993 East Africa was crippled with severe drought. 20 persons are dying for an hour in the refugee camps due to acute starvation. In those miserable days a photographer Kevin Carter from South Africa had reached Sudan.He heard a baby cry out side the refugee camp.The baby was crawling towards a food station. The baby is fighting with life and death as you can see in the picture the vulture is about to tear apart the little baby. Any one who has a responding heart will flood out tears but the photographer waited for 20 minutes for the vulture to spread its wings and captured the horror in his camera. This photo was published in New york Times 26th march of 1993 for which he was awarded Pulitzer prize in July 1994. He was flooded with mails querying about: what happened to the little baby, did you saved the baby. He replied that there were strict rules and restrictions not to touch the refugees. The baby died out of misery. people responded that he was the second vulture to the other side of the baby.
Kevin Repented that he had done a mistake, he committed suicide on 26th July 1994 just few days after he received the award.Had he saved the baby and also taken the photograph he would have got the credited of showing the world  THE HORROR OF POVERTY. That is why i always feel to respond in time is very essential, for that one need to have empathy,but this is the world we are living in.
Today the same East Africa,also known as horn of Africa, popularly remembered by the word SEED- SOMALIA,ERITREA,ETHIOPIA,DJIBOUTI. is again facing Severe drought.People are crossing the nations by walk to reach the food stations in the refugee camp held at north Kenya in DADAAB refugee camp. 10 million people have been affected due to drought in these nations because of prevalent LA-NINA effect that caused the prolonged crop failure.
