Since the beginning of 2022, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams in five states across northwest Nigeria have seen a disturbing spike in cases of child malnutrition. This is just one of the many devastating consequences of violent attacks by armed groups that have uprooted and displaced hundreds of thousands of people.
MSF teams have treated close to 150,000 children for acute malnutrition and admitted about 24,000 children requiring hospital care since January 2022. MSF is one of the only organizations currently able to provide lifesaving treatment in this crisis because we are almost entirely funded by small donations from independent donors like you.
Time is not on our side, Friend. Children whose immune systems have been weakened by malnutrition are more susceptible to diseases, including malaria, which is potentially deadly.
