A calf suffering from malnutrition stands in a field in drought-affected Los Chiles de San Carlos, 300 km (187.5 miles) north of San Jose, May 23, 2008. Hundreds of families have lost crops and livestock, and have been without water after a prolonged drought in the northern region of Costa Rica, forcing the government to declare a national emergency.
