Justin Forsyth, Save the Children's chief executive, said: "The UK G8 nutrition summit is our best opportunity in decades to save the lives of the millions of children who die every year because they don't have nutritious food to eat. "We have made dramatic progress cutting child deaths in recent years, but hunger remains the Achilles" heel of development. Unless we tackle this, the great injustice of our age, children will continue to die needlessly. If enough people join us in showing support for ending hunger, world leaders will be forced to act.
