Nigeria: displaced children continue to suffer from malnutrition
MUNA, BORNO STATE, January 5, 2017 – Seven-year-old Zadi weighed just 15 kilograms when her mother brought her to the Muna Village health clinic in northeastern Nigeria, just outside Borno State’s capital, Maiduguri, in early November. Her small body was bloated with fluid weight from edema and she was suffering from a severe type of malnutrition known as kwashiorkor. Doctors immediately referred her to the Inpatient Treatment Center.
