The international relief organization World Vision on Tuesday opened two malnutrition treatment centres to care for hundreds of children found with severe malnutrition in Katella Locality in Sudan’s South Darfur State, local official said.
Malnourishment is a condition that results from eating a diet in which nutrients are either not enough or are too much such that the diet causes health problems.
Abu-Bakr Abdalla, coordinator of the popular committees in Katella, told Radio Tamazuj yesterday that the relief organization opened one centre in Katella town and another in Deidan area.
Abdalla pointed out that about 500 children are malnourished in the locality, while attributing the problem to economic hardships and tribal feuds between the Beni Halba and Al Gamar tribes.
