Thirteen children are losing their lives each day due to severe malnutrition at the Zamzam camp in Sudan's northern Darfur, a consequence of the ongoing 10-month war in the country, according to a medical charity. The situation has prompted calls for a cease-fire agreement and strengthened relief efforts to prevent further casualties and a potential increase in the number of Sudanese refugees seeking safety in Europe.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has revealed that one child dies every two hours in the Zamzam camp, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. Claire Nicolet, head of emergency response in Sudan for MSF, warns that children who are severely malnourished and have not yet perished are at high risk of dying within three to six weeks if they do not receive treatment.
