“This is like doomsday for me. I feel so much grief. Can you imagine what I’ve gone through watching my children dying?” says Amina.
She’s lost six children. None of them lived past the age of three and another is now battling for her life.
Seven-month-old Bibi Hajira is the size of a newborn. Suffering from severe acute malnutrition, she occupies half a bed at a ward in Jalalabad regional hospital in Afghanistan’s eastern Nangarhar province.
“My children are dying because of poverty. All I can feed them is dry bread, and water that I warm up by keeping it out under the sun,” Amina says, nearly shouting in anguish.
What’s even more devastating is her story is far from unique - and that so many more lives could be saved with timely treatment.

This sure is a take.
That koolaid must be good.
