ON THE HUNGER ROADS
A MALNUTRITION CRISIS IS UNFOLDING IN PARTS OF NIGER AND NORTHWEST NIGERIA. ILLUSTRATOR CAMILLE QUILICHINI TRAVELLED TO THE REGION TO DOCUMENT THE SITUATION.
Tens of thousands of children across parts of Niger and northwest Nigeria are at risk of severe malnutrition. Poor harvests, rising food costs, outbreaks of malaria and escalating violence have exacerbated the already precarious situation in which many families live.
MSF launched an emergency response in the region in June last year; since then our teams have treated 115,000 children for malnutrition.
