Millennium Development Goals: Poverty grips Chad 15 years on

The Millennium Development Goals focused on eradicating poverty and hunger - improving maternal and child health - and more.

The BBC's Fergus Walsh reports from one of the world's poorest nations, Chad in central Africa, to see the effects of extreme hunger.
