HIS name was Kevin Lara Lugo, and he died on his 16th birthday.

Kevin, who lived in Maturin, Venezuela, spent the day before foraging for food in an empty lot because there was nothing to eat at home. Then in a hospital because what he found made him gravely ill.

Hours later, he was dead on a gurney, which doctors rolled by his mother as she watched helplessly. She said the hospital had lacked the simplest supplies needed to save him on that day in July.
