Study on Palestinian Malnutrition
(New York Times) - The study underway for the U.S. Agency for International Development is being conducted by Johns Hopkins University under contract. The preliminary results were based on about 300 households and overstate the current findings of the survey, according to Western diplomats who have seen more recent conclusions.
