Anger is increasing in China after it was revealed only a fraction of the million yuan ($144,000; 111,000) donated to a severely malnourished student reached her before her death.
People across the country had given money to help Wu Huayan, whose plight emerged after she was taken to hospital with breathing difficulties last autumn.

The student, who weighed little more than 20kg (43lb), had been surviving on pennies a day for five years.
She later explained how she had watched both her father and grandmother die because they did not have enough money for medical care. She was determined not to let the same happen to her, with the media appeal her last chance.

And it appeared to work: the donations flooded in. But it wasn't enough to save Wu, who died on Monday aged 24.
Those who had been rooting for her were devastated, but there was worse to come. It transpired the money they had given - or at least the vast majority of it - never reached Wy Huayan.

Official records seem to suggest just 20,000 yuan ($2,900; 2,225) was paid towards her hospital bills.
