Jenty Victor has been attending UNICEF’s nutrition programme in Yambio, South Sudan, for four weeks. “She couldn’t keep down what we were giving her, and she got malnourished,” says her mother, Margret. Jenty was diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition and treated using RUTF, which is a high-calorie nut paste given as a medical treatment that can literally mean the difference between life and death for severely malnourished children. It’s a simple, effective and affordable solution.
