Hudaydah: a baby girl recovers from severe malnutrition
This is the story of a baby girl from Hudaydah who suffered from severe acute malnutrition.
When she arrived at the hospital, she weighed only 5.7 kilos. Children of her age should weigh 8 kilos.
After intensive treatment at the UNICEF-supported therapeutic feeding centre in Al-Zaidiah, she is now getting better.
UNICEF can scale up its lifesaving nutrition work for affected communities thanks to partners such as the European Commission's Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), which funds the Al-Zaidiah health centre in Hudaydah.
