Diseases spread as food supplies dwindle

In February, an MSF team discovered that one in four children under the age of five in Biltine was acutely malnourished. In response, MSF opened an emergency nutrition program in April, which enrolled 67 children for treatment in its first week, eight of whom were so seriously malnourished that they are receiving intensive inpatient care. The program will run for the next nine months.
