...battle with obesity, the other extreme on the spectrum. But obesity, also a visual cue of infertility and unhealthiness, is hardly a worthy goal. The Western world prefers to appear hungry rather than sated. Commonly understood in the fashion industry is the concept that runway models are not the main attraction, but merely human coat hangers, used to display designers’ wares.

The reason is simple. "They can't get here," says Doctor Ahmad Mrowe, the hospital's director. All main roads and most minor routes have been severed in multiple places by massive air bombs that gouge out yawning craters, making for a lengthy and terrifying experience for anyone brave or desperate enough to travel; one new patient had spent eight hours on the road, shuttled by eight separate vehicles...
