A Malagasy boy in Madagascar, a nation that CARE says has some of the worst humanitarian crises in the world today. Madagascar has the world’s fourth-highest chronic malnutrition rate; every second child below the age of 5 is malnourished. In early 2019, the Indian Ocean island also suffered a major measles outbreak with 127,000 confirmed cases. Madagascar has also seen seasonal plague outbreaks. Photo uploaded Jan. 19, 2020
