Dorcas Simon, 38-year-old, plays with her twin daughters during a food training event in Kaltungo's Poshereng Nigeria, Sunday, June 2, 2024. Dorcas Simon's nine-month-old twin daughters cried nonstop and tugged at her clothes for attention but also for food. They've barely had any food in the past 24 hours. But that's not new. It's all too obvious in their protuberant abdomens and heads too big for their tiny bodies. She knows they need food but finding what to eat is a struggle in this part of northern Nigeria where conflict and climate change have limited earnings of families and their access to farmlands. Even Simon's breastmilk is barely enough for her children. (AP Photo/Sunday Alamba)
