The island of Bhola at the mouth of the Meghna River in southern Bangladesh suffers from one of the country’s highest rates of severe acute malnutrition. It is the severest form of malnutrition and holds very high risks for morbidity and mortality. In the Starved for Attention film, “Terrifying Normalcy,” Ron Haviv captures the resignation with which Bhola’s malnourished mothers and children accept a chronically meager food supply. This is one of 195 million stories of malnutrition. Sign the petition to help us rewrite the story. Photo: Bangladesh 2009 © Ron Haviv/VII
