Malnourished children die from diarrhoea in Central Darfur
On Saturday and Sunday, four malnourished children died from diarrhoea in Nierteti hospital in Central Darfur. “Some 130 other children are currently receiving treatment for the same ailment in clinics in the locality,” a displaced reported to Radio Dabanga from Nierteti North camp. She said that the mortality rate for children is rapidly rising, because of the lack of medicines in the clinics, and urged health organisations and the Sudanese authorities to provide supplementary feeding and medicines “as soon as possible”.
