Indian poor starve while grain rots in depots

In the village of Danapur in Eastern India, villager Rita says she has had nothing to feed her son for four days.

It does have a huge public distribution system that provides free food to families below the poverty line. But corruption and complex bureaucracy means the poorest of the poor often don't make it onto the list.
