I have a picture of the Pakistani twins published on the front page of the
United Nations Administrative Committee on Coordination - Subcommittee on
Nutrition, May 1991 issue of SCN News, reprinted with support from UNICEF.
The paragraph beside the picture reads,

"This picture tells two stories:  most obviously, about the often fatal
consequences of bottle-feeding:  more profoundly, about the age-old bias in
favour of the male.  The child with the bottle is a girl - she died the next
day.  Her twin brother was breastfed.  This woman was told by her
mother-in-law that she didn't have enough milk for both her children, and so
should breastfeed the boy........"
