A mother with the body of her son, just five months old. They arrived at Kuito, from Chitembo, the day before - but the child died from malnutrition as his condition was too far gone to recover. People from Chitembo started coming to MSF feeding centres in Kuito in April, immediately after the latest peace. They were already severely very malnourished. Data collected at the time showed global malnutrition rates of 26% and severe malnutrition rates of 9%. These figures far exceeded figures the emergency threshold.
