53. ISRAEL/WEST BANK

FSI Score: 84.4

Israel may boast one of the world's most dynamic, high-tech economies, but in June 2010, Save the Children, a British-based charity, released alarming figures describing the humanitarian situation in the occupied West Bank. For example, nearly half the children growing up in Area C, the portion under full Israeli control, suffered from water-borne diarrhea, a major contributor to malnutrition.

Here, Palestinian children play on a swing in the village of Fasayel in the West Bank on June 14, 2011.

  1. Yes it really is great photo, but it is not mine. I merely blogged it to help bring attention to it. PLEASE credit Foreign Policy Magazine for it- and of course the photographer SAIF DAHLAH/AFP/Getty Images
