A child suffering from tuberculosis and malaria in addition to starvation. The nurses injected saline solution through a vein in the child's head, but were unable to save the life of the child. During the famine, many people died from concomitant illnesses rather than starvation 飢餓に加えて結核とマラリア熱に襲われた子ども。看護婦は頭の静脈に食塩注射をしたが、子どもの命はよみがえらなかった。飢餓状態においては飢えそのものよりも、関連する病気によって死ぬ人が多い
