‘AIDS and hunger a deadly combination in Southern Africa food crisis'
BARCELONA -- “With so many farmers already weak or dead from AIDS, children and the elderly are all that remain to farm the land. This makes a serious food crisis dangerous,” said Ethel Kapyepye, World Vision’s HIV/AIDS Coordinator in Malawi. Kaypepye was a delegate to the AIDS 2002 Conference in Barcelona July 7-12, but was unable to attend because, like many others, her visa was not granted by the Spanish government.
