Field Diary: Niger’s children under siege from the worsening nutrition crisis

MARADI, Niger, 11 April 2012 – Walking through the door into the intensive care ward, I am struck by sensory overload – children’s cries come seemingly from every direction; medical staff buzzing around me, inserting a feeding tube here, testing for malaria there; and an oppressive 40 degree Celsius heat from which there is no escape.
