Hunger In The Land: 400 Malnourished Children Admitted Per Day In Kebbi – MSF by treesun(op): 8:10pm On Jul 25, 2025

The Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF) known as Doctors Without Borders has expressed worry over rise in the number of malnourished children, saying it admits over 400 per day in Kebbi State.

It noted that the increment was caused by limited access to healthcare, high inflation, poverty, desertification and low agriculture productivity during planting season.

It added that there was urgent need for more non-governmental agencies and other international organisations to intervene because the surge was overwhelming.

A senior medical Doctor of MSF, Hamza Bello, who is in charge of Maiyama ITFC Main Center in Kebbi, disclosed that since many parents heard about the free medical services being delivered by the organisation, they have been trekking about 100km to the Maiyama center to treat their malnourished babies.

He said, “there is unprecedented increase in the number of malnourished children. Over 400 per day in some cases. August used to be the peak and the situation may get worse.”

He added that MSF is the only international organization that’s treating severe acute malnourition (SAM) in the state.

“We are overwhelmed by the situation and there is urgent need for multi -actor support”, he said.

He disclosed that in 2022, 2,652 inpatients were recorded, in 2024, 51,139 malnourished babies were treated under severe acute malnourition (SAM ) and 9,747 under moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), while in 2024, 51,139 patients were recorded, translating into five times of the previous years.

Doctor Bello said in 2025, within weeks 1,494 and 1,647 patients were on admission which compelled the organization to expands its beds space.

He appealed to other international organizations to come and rescue of the malnourished babies “as the state Government is trying to complement their efforts to curb the surge”.

but they have been doing this to them, in most cases they often benefit very well from the government, even from the previous, by way of encouraging them, now the policy is a bit changed, its the reason everything seems too porous.

Sorry to say this, I am done having pity with Nigerians. Tomorrow their parents will queue on the line dragging to vote their oppressors because of proto and rice. Once they won the election, they will abandon them for another 4yr. Y'all should suffer Nigeria and get sense by force.

To be sincere, northern leaders failed woefully.

And they were the ones that have govern this country the most aside holding juicy and top positions.

This can't be seen or felt by their people.

Hunger, illiteracy and disease is their Hallmark.

You can't see this in the south
