Tens of thousands of children across Niger and northwest Nigeria are at risk of severe malnutrition. Poor harvests, rising food costs, outbreaks of malaria and escalating violence have exacerbated the already precarious situation in which many families live.

Illustrator Camille Quilichini travelled to the region to document an unfolding malnutrition crisis.

In June 2022, Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) launched an emergency response to tackle the crisis.

Since then, our teams have treated 115,000 children for malnutrition.
