Preval should give his resignation and head back to Marmelade.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - At least 26 severely malnourished children have died in recent days in Haiti, and aid groups fear many more deaths unless more help comes quickly to this impoverished Caribbean country.

At least 65 other severely malnourished children have been treated on site or evacuated to hospitals, said Max Cosci, who heads the Belgian contingent of Doctors Without Borders in Haiti.

Hunger contributed to deaths likely caused by diarrhea, fever and other conditions over a two-week period but medical teams arrived too late to determine how each child died, Cosci said. The doctors did rule out a disease epidemic, however.

One evacuee, a 7-year-old girl abandoned by her family, died while being treated, Cosci told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

"The situation is extremely, extremely fragile and dangerous," Cosci said.
