The variables with the highest explanatory power for stunting are child health-care provision and the fertility rate.

06.09.2006 Greenpeace Internationalin mukaan Kiinasta tuotu laittomasti geenimuunneltu riisi on saastuttanut elintarvikkeita Ranskassa, Saksassa ja Isossa-Britanniassa. Greenpeace on muistuttanut päättäjiä siitä, että laittomasti geenimuunneltu riisi on vakava terveysriski. Järjestö vaatii Euroopan hallituksia aloittamaan välittömästi toimet kuluttajien suojelemiseksi. Geenimuunneltu riisi löytyi Greenpeacen ja Maan ystävien Isossa-Britanniassa tekemissä testeissä.

05.09.2006 Sadat ihmiset ovat menehtyneet ja kymmenettuhannet menettäneet kotinsa Etiopiaa pyyhkivissä tulvissa. Afrikan sarven kuivuuskriisiä ovat seuranneet kuukausia kestäneet rankkasateet. Joet ovat tulvineet alankoalueilla. Etiopian pohjoisosissa sijaitseva Amharan alue on yksi pahiten kärsineistä. Arviolta 200 000 ihmistä kärsii sateista, joiden arvioidaan kestävän vielä viikkoja. Tilanne voi huonontua entisestään.
