Cradle To Life

I found this old picture showing victims of a devastating drought in the Sahel region of western Africa in 1974. Women and children scramble in the sand for fallen grain after a cereal distribution along the border between Mali and Upper Volta.

Such a dreadful event and sight. Just looking at the picture, makes me tearyeyed. What if we are in this situation?
