The International President of the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders, Dr. Christos Christou, has raised the alarm over what he described as a huge increase in the number of malnourished children in northern Nigeria.
Christou, who said this at the weekend at a press briefing in Abuja after he visited Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, noted that between January and August this year, there was a 51 per cent increase in admission of children with severe malnutrition compared to the same period last year.
