The pictures were of people who were so thin that they looked like beings from another pla. The camera focused on one man so that he looked directly at me, sitting in my fortable living room. All around was the sound of death. It was clear that world had not noticed this until now. You could hear the sadness in the voice of the reporter, Michael Buerk.
