Nearly ten years after it shocked the world, the heartbreaking image of a starving little boy on the side of the road in a Nigerian town, still packs the same devastating punch.
The boy, later named Hope, had been left emaciated and naked on the streets of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria and was only rescued from near certain death when a charity volunteer spotted his skeletal figure.
In the photo Hope is seen desperately suckling from a plastic bottle, almost half his size, as he is fed water by the volunteer.
Clutched in his hand, is his only possession, a small raggedy doll - a reminder of a childhood stolen from him.
Hope was cast out of his family home and village by his own parents when he was just three years old and left to fend for himself on the streets, surviving off scraps.
