The picture that made the world sit up and notice the humanitarian crisis in Sudan is as grim as it is sad. The vulture waits patiently for the malnourished little girl to die so it can eat her. The image was so distressing for photographer Kevin Carter, he took his own life soon after it was taken. Published in The New York Times in March 1993, the picture caused an outpouring of aid for the Sudanese people. Due to public concern, The Times stated that the little girl was able to reach a food centre, but beyond that it is not known what happened to her.
