Headline Press Conference by Special Rapporteur of Commission on Human Rights on Rights to Food

Caption Description Jean Ziegler, Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights on the Rights to Food, briefed correspondents today at UN Headquarters on his mission to the occupied Palestinian territories. He said 3.8 million people had lived under occupation in the Palestinian territories since 1967. Since September 2000, the situation had been dramatically deteriorating, and World Bank figures released in March 2003 corroborated this fact. He said 22 per cent of Palestinian children under 5 were suffering from grave malnutrition, a three fold increase since September 2000, and 9.3 per cent of children under the age of 5 were suffering from acute malnutrition, which meant that they had brain damage or were mutilated for life from chronic malnutrition.
