Megan Corder and Friends of Médecins Sans Frontières came a little closer to understanding the agony of starvation this week, denying themselves the right to eat from Thursday afternoon until late Friday night as part of their “Starved for Attention” campaign, in a striking attempt to raise awareness of child malnutrition. The thirty-hour fast was a staggering success, the participants “Just Giving” account alone totalling over £1,000.
“Horrendous. So difficult” said one of the group, mid-munch, “I didn’t expect it to actually be so hard, and it’s really made me realise the gravity of the problem…that for some children this kind of extreme hunger is a way of life”
