Thalif Deen, Inter Press Service: "A spectre is haunting the cities and villages of most developing nations, warns a senior official of a World Bank-affiliated organisation. 'It's the spectre of a food, fuel and water crisis,' says Lars Thunell, executive vice president of the Washington-based International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank group. 'I believe we are at a tipping point,' he said, because the scarcity of water poses a threat to the food supply just when the agricultural sector is stepping up production in response to riots over food prices, growing hunger, and rising malnutrition."
