Nyala’s children face malnutrition without lifesaving inpatient care
In Nyala, South Darfur, the nutrition crisis is worsening ahead of the lean season. At MSF-supported primary healthcare centres, 17–26% of children screened were found to have acute malnutrition, including 4–5.5% with severe acute malnutrition.
Since 1 April 2026, inpatient therapeutic feeding services at Nyala Teaching Hospital have been suspended, leaving no facility in the area for children with severe malnutrition and medical complications. An estimated 15–20 children are now turned away every day.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is calling for urgent action to restore lifesaving inpatient care for severely malnourished children in Nyala.
