The international food crisis is likely to cause malnutrition rather than famine, said John Holmes, the U.N.'s top humanitarian aid official, on Wednesday."People, particularly those on the lowest incomes, will be eating less and less well," he said during a news conference in Geneva."I don't think that in the very short term we are talking about starvation and famine," Holmes said.On Tuesday, while announcing the launch of a new task force, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said progress has been made, but some nations “still face a development emergency.”
