Kaundama village, 50 km north of Lilongwe
- Elia Benela points to the spot where his family granary used to stand

Last year, Elia's wife, daughter and three grandchildren harvested just 40 kg of maize and, since November, they have survived on a diet of wild fruits and banana tree roots.

Elia cannot even afford one normal meal a day. "We will soon all die of hunger," he says.
