Friend, around the world, a hunger crisis is unfolding.
In countries including Nigeria, Somalia, and Afghanistan malnutrition endangers the lives of millions of children and adults. Malnutrition weakens a child’s immune system, making them more susceptible to diseases like measles, malaria, pneumonia, and gastrointestinal infections. It is one of the greatest threats to children’s health and demands an urgent response.
At Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), we are responding to multiple hunger crises right now. As conflict, displacement, and climate change put people at risk all over the world, it’s more important than ever that we have the resources we need to respond to malnutrition and other life-threatening emergencies. That’s why we are calling on our community to help.
In northwestern Nigeria, MSF has treated over 50,000 children with malnutrition this year—but due to continued displacement, insecurity, poverty, and lack of access to healthcare, more emergency aid is needed. That’s why we’re ramping up to be ready to treat 100,000 more malnourished children in Katsina state, Nigeria, and expanding our responses to other areas in the country affected by hunger.
