United Nations, Muharram 22, 1436, Nov 15, 2014, SPA -- A convergence of droughts, harvest failures, locust invasions and political conflicts in Mali have left 4.75 million people without enough to eat, U.N. officials said Friday. UNICEF Emergency Director Afshan Khan said the children's agency estimates that almost a million children are suffering from varying degrees of malnutrition and close to half a million youngsters will suffer from acute malnutrition by the end of the year. "That's comparable to the crises we see in South Sudan and the Horn of Africa," AP quoted Khan as saying. --SPA 14:51 LOCAL TIME 11:51 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
