Malawi is in the grips of a food crisis, the worst in a decade. This follows flooding and a prolonged drought. Around 2.8 million Malawians are in need of urgent food aid. To assess the scale of the damage, the United Nations children's fund is carrying out mass screening for malnutrition, across 90% of the country. It's a mammoth task and involves traveling to remote communities who might not otherwise have access to life-saving care.
