13,000 relief workers are in Darfur, and a billion dollars are spent annually, but malnutrition rates are on the rise. Last year there were 12.9 percent "acutely malnourished" Darfurians, now there are 16.1 percent.
Apparently the United Nations has been aware of the situation for months, but the conditions on the ground continue to plague aid workers as attacks on them are up 150 percent. Moreover, the refugee camps are full as more and more are trying to find escape from genocide.
The most adversely effected are children ages 6 months - 29 months.

Alas, Mary Magdalene speaks Farsi.
This is the first of a quite heartbreaking series about the dismal and almost definitively hopeless lives of prostitutes eking out shadow lives in Iran.
