A malnourished infant lies on the floor inside a therapeutic feeding center run by the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF) in the town of Maradi in southern Niger June 29, 2005. Relief workers are scouring West Africa for new sources of food aid to avert mass starvation in Niger after drought hit stocks in the country's traditional suppliers, a U.N. official said on Wednesday. Medical charity MSF has called for free food distributions, saying this year's shortfalls have exposed a chronic food crisis, overlooked by the outside world for years. REUTERS/Finbarr O'Reilly
