Mothers bring their babies and young children to be screened for malnutrition at the community health post. One mother, Marianna, is here with her two year old daughter, Tamina, to receive their latest supply of emergency therapeutic food as Tamina has been diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition. Speaking about why Tamina is sick, Marianna says “we lost everything, we haven’t harvested any crops for over two years – nothing. While we wait for the rain to return we’ve had to lease out some of our land”. It means that if the rains return though, the family has lost some of their land to a long lease, and therefore some of their profits. “At the moment I’m selling firewood when I can. I have to rent donkeys though and I can’t always afford that. We are living hand to mouth. Gone are the days that we harvested maize, wheat, sorgum. Last year nothing grew.” The health post is surrounded by fields turned to dust, the children are covered in it as they wait to be seen at the health post. Marianna says that two years ago she was able to feed her older two children, who are five and six years old. “We had enough grain to sell, as well as eat. There was money to manage the household and I felt I could care for the family well”. After Tamina was born, they harvested less and less. Tamina started losing weight, then completely lost her appetite and then became very sick. That was around eight months ago. She was admitted to the local health centre and diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition with complications. As she pulls a scarf around her youngest child, trying to soothe her, her mother says she was so weak but she got stronger with the special milk at the health centre provided by UNICEF. About a month ago Tamina got sick again. After being seen at the health post she was given a supply of emergency therapeutic food that will build her strength. Marianna says she feels angry every day. Life has been taken away from her and her family. She fears for
