Case Study: Life slides away
Among the young victims of the conflict, the 18-month-old Aysha Jebellah is included for treatment for serious acute malnutrition in the Port Sudan Pediatric Hospital.
Her mother, Aziza, has been to her daughter, because medical teams offer life -saving food support and tackle the medical complications that Aysha has suffered, linked to her condition.
Aziza was displaced with her family from Khartoem when the conflict broke out more than two years ago, first flee to Kassala and then moved to Port Sudan where she lives with family members.
She described how her daughter had diarrhea and fever for about two weeks before she was admitted to the hospital. By that time she had stopped eating and seemed to slide away before their eyes.
