Case study: Life is moving away
Among the young victims of the conflict, Aysha Jebrellah, 18 months old, was admitted for treatment for severe acute malnutrition at the Port Sudan pediatric hospital.
His mother, Aziza, was alongside her daughter while medical teams provide vital nutritional support and approach the medical complications that Aysha has suffered, linked to her condition.
Aziza was moved from her Khartoum family when the conflict broke out more than two years ago, first fled to Kassala, then moving to Port Sudan where she lives with relatives.
She described how her daughter had diarrhea and fever for about two weeks before being admitted to the hospital. At that time, she had stopped eating and seemed to go away before their eyes.
“When she refused to taste anything and continued to weaken, I was afraid of losing her,” said Aziza. “” Now I hope she will recover. “”
