Michel Roulet, paediatrician, nutritionist, and expert in nutrition for Terre des hommes describes the alarming situation which currently takes place in Somalia and extends in the bordering countries.

He just returns from a mission of evaluation in Kenya in August 2011. He reacts to the current situation of the refugee in the camps, as well as Kenyan also undergoing this crisis.

“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.”
