International humanitarian medical non-governmental organisation, Doctors Without Borders has raised the alarm over a growing malnutrition crisis in North-West, warning that the current humanitarian response has fallen short with a risk of a catastrophic outcome in the near future.
The France-headquatered NGO also known as Médecins Sans Frontières, in a statement by its country medical coordinator, Htet Aung Kyi, expressed concerns about what it calls “a vicious cycle of malnutrition, where recovered children often require readmission due to insufficient food at home.”
In the statement issued in Abuja on Friday, the organisation said
“the increasing number of malnourished children in our facilities is a clear sign that as the lean season progresses, we will receive even more cases.”
