Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries More than half of the flags are broken images.
This is the same bug that I've reported millions of times before. People keep suggesting to use action=purge to convince the server to regenerate the image file. Well great, except doing that for all the broken flags on this page is beyond tedious. And besides, how is a casual reader supposed to do this.
This needs fixing quite urgently, especially seeing as it's been around for so long.
A server ran out of disk space. It has been fixed. This is the cause of most (all?) of the recent spike of broken thumbnails.
Without more information it is not possible to determine if there is an additional cause of thumbnail problems which is on-going. Can you link to your prior bug reports?
