NUTRITION
© Medair/Jaco Klamer
The Need for Nutrition Medair brings relief From September 2011 to August 2012, Medair treated more than 7,000 malnourished children under the age of five in Somaliland.
When Medair came to our village, they looked at Rahma and said she was malnourished. They said she should go to the stabilisation centre in Burao; the nurses there gave her special milk. Now Rahma is being fed by Medair – she takes the special food sachets that Medair brings. I also feed her with breast milk – I learned at the stabilisation centre that this is important. Rahma is doing better. Before, she was weak and hardly able to hold her head up. Now she can move around by herself. – Shukri Ali Yusuf, 22, and her daughter Rahma at home in Warrir, Somaliland. medair.org | 2012 | Medair December
