How does the author's observation of women farmers in Senegal help you understand the title of the article? "Some of my most vivid images of the Sahel food crisis are of hands and feet. When I traveled to Senegal recently to document Oxfam's work on the crisis, I met with women farmers who lost their last harvest to erratic rains. Several times I noticed an injury to a woman's foot or finger-usually something simple that without medical care had become so serious that it was disabling or worse: from the look of it, some would require amputation. But none of the women had any food stocks left and, with prices on the rise, none could afford to purchase enough for her family to eat, so a visit to the doctor was out of the question."
Solution
VerifiedThe author reports about women in Senegal who are poor and who can not afford adequate medical care. Due to poverty and poor conditions in agriculture, some women have experienced some form of disability. Instead of paying better treatment, they spent money on the family's diet.
