A chance for survival in Yemen: treating a baby girl for malnutrition

Published 22 April 2019 in Blog

This UNICEF film tells the story of a baby girl from Hudaydah who was suffering from severe acute malnutrition.

The video loads from YouTube when you play it.

When she arrived at 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 of Al-Zaidiah, she is now getting better.

UNICEF can scale up its lifesaving nutrition work for affected communities thanks to the support of partners. One of them is the European Commission's Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), which funds the work of the Al-Zaidiah health centre in Hudaydah.
