The deaths occurred in a region (near the border with El Salvador) that has been severely affected by drought this year.
News of the deaths of the two children was confirmed by Alden Rivera, lobito's vice Foreign Minister.
Who does not seem to have missed any meals lately.
Rivera said the government was contemplating declaring a state of emergency and taking "immediate measures" to avert more starvation deaths, especially among children.

Some may recall that the lobito government back in August rejected a shipment of two million kilos of wheat from the United States. Reason: The wheat was infected with Japanese Beetle.
The two largest newspapers, El Heraldo of Teguz, and La Prensa of San Pedro Sula, have not reported the story as write this. Both are golpista and lobito supporters.
