Sudan: MSF resumes outpatient nutritional program for children in Zamzam camp amid severe malnutrition crisis
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) resumed its outpatient nutritional program in Zamzam camp, near El Fasher in North Darfur, for children suffering from acute malnutrition after receiving therapeutic food supplies this week.
MSF was forced to stop outpatient treatment for 5,000 children with acute malnutrition in Zamzam camp in late September after the warring parties blocked deliveries of food, medicines, and other essential supplies for months.
Although the teams are relieved to provide life-saving treatment again, it’s just a few weeks respite. Our teams estimate that providing a month’s worth of emergency food rations to the 450,000 people in Zamzam would require 100 trucks to deliver around 2,000 tons of rations.
MSF continues to urge for the unhindered delivery of massive humanitarian aid.
