Ban: Mali situation remains unstable
Security remains elusive in Mali despite the recent French-led offensive, and a United Nations peacekeeping force is not expected to be fully equipped, according to a report from Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. "The situation on the ground remains ... fluid, with sporadic clashes between armed groups and continued asymmetric attacks across the three regions of the north," Ban said in the report.

UN Dispatch
"Some people call undernutrition 'hidden hunger' because in many instances children may not look overtly sick or starving. But, in fact, they're not getting enough of the right kinds of nutrients needed to help their brain and body grow. This can lead to a form of undernutrition known as stunting -- which affects 165 million children -- about one of every four children under age 5." UN Dispatch (6/7)
