Niger's children continue dying
ashamed がどうもしっくりこないので調べてみました。
Massive amounts of foreign aid have flowed into Niger since the world woke up to the crisis, but the food has not yet reached around a million people. It arrived too late and is still being distributed.
Aid agencies working on the ground feel ashamed at the world's slow reaction - every day they see children dying right before their eyes.
現地で働く救援機関の人たちは、一刻を争う緊急事態であるにもかかわらず国際援助が遅いので、そのことに対して、苛立ちや申し訳なさを感じているというところだろうと思う。
[Longman American Dictionary]
USAGE NOTE : GUILTY
WORD CHOICE : guilty, ashamed, embarrassed
feels bad because they did something wrong, especially something that has harmed someone else
He felt guilty about spending so little time with his children.
* Use ashamed to say that someone feels guilty and uncomfortable about something they did that is morally wrong ,and which might make other people not respect them

* Use embarrassed to say that someone is upset beause they did something that makes them seem silly or stupid

いまひとつ分かりにくいと感じますが、embarrassed が日本語の「恥ずかしい」に一番ぴったりのような感じ。
