The world's most under-reported crises?

Mark Stanley, Pulitzer Center

Since January 2006, when the Pulitzer Center was founded, we have sponsored over 100 in-depth international reporting projects on critical issues that would have otherwise gone uncovered in the US media.

In 2010, we intend to continue our reporting on environmental challenges like water, food and climate change; on HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean and maternal mortality worldwide; on fragile states around the world; and on the implications of U.S. military engagement in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and beyond.

As we prepare for the new year, the Pulitzer Center wants your opinion on the most under-reported crises happening around the world. What are the stories that the world knows little to nothing about but that we desperately need to be aware of?
