“More than 70 children suffering from severe malnutrition were in the hospital of the camp of Ifo in Dadaab. We examined a 3 years and 5 month old child who weighed 4.5 kilos. We also saw children from 5 to 18 years suffering from acute malnutrition – what is very rare. It is necessary to act as fast as possible because children die every day.”
