Emaciated: Hope was close to death
These are the horrifying pictures of a starving two-year-old boy left to die by his family because they thought he was a witch.
The little lad, named Hope, was found painfully thin, riddled with worms and close to death by a charity worker.
Anja Ringgren Loven, a Danish woman, discovered him wandering naked in Nigeria after living off scraps thrown by passers-by for eight months.
Disgusted by the boy's condition Ms Loven gathered him up, fed him and gave him water from a bottle.
She wrapped the toddler in a blanket and cradled him in her arms as she took him to the nearest hospital .

Torture: Perceived witchhood affects thousands of children, according to Ms Loven
Ms Loven said: "Thousands of children are being accused of being witches and we've both seen torture of children, dead children and frightened children."
The charity is appealing for donations to help pay for Hope's medical bills.
