Poverty-stricken (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

needy

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">poverty-stricken</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that poverty-stricken can be written as needy)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for needy that I've seen before include "Deprived" , "Distressed" , "Poor; wanting affection" , "Wanting attention" , "penniless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Star Tribune.
