and in the queue, we found this woman and her ten-month-old baby,	:02:37.	:02:39.
Sometimes going to sleep without eating.	:02:40.	:02:48.

Four years old, he is severely malnourished and weakened by TB.	:03:46.	:03:51.
Or this boy, aged five, whose mother sits helpless nearby.	:03:52.	:04:04.
But what about those children who don't make it	:04:05.	:04:54.
to a treatment centre like this, from areas inaccessible to eight?	:04:55.	:04:57.
Where there are no doctors or clinics, where food and water	:04:58.	:05:00.
