MSF REPORTS 74% INCREASE IN MALNOURISHED CHILDREN ADMITTED IN KEBBI

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reveals a sharp 74.1% rise in malnourished child admissions in Kebbi from January to June 2025, highlighting a worsening nutrition crisis.

Dr. Hamza Bello warns August will be even tougher as facilities—already stretched thin and the only INGO providing such care in Kebbi—struggle to cope. With some families traveling over 100 km for treatment, MSF calls for urgent multi-sector support, adequate therapeutic food supplies, and strengthened community health efforts to save vulnerable children.

Grateful mothers praised MSF for free treatment and care, urging sustained humanitarian aid to protect more lives.
