When Ismail heard his baby cry in the night, he despaired. He knew there was no milk in the house, and that his one-year-old son would be given water in his bottle — yet again.
“He cried and cried because he was hungry and didn’t want water,” said the 29-year-old father of three. “It was heart-breaking, but we had run out of milk and didn’t have money to buy more.” Ismail added: “It has happened twice in the last month. I don’t care about myself eating and my wife doesn’t care about herself, but we do about the babies.”
