Malnourished children, stunted growth. All are born underweight.

For three months, Naja has spent days and nights beside her son Yusuf's crib. I've been sleeping in the hospital since he was born. Yusuf is getting worse every day. "My hope is to be able to take him abroad." Yusuf was born weighing only two kilos. His weight has remained unchanged, even though he's now six months old.
"Every day we welcome children with malnutrition," the doctor says, "and we're forced to hospitalize them to try to save them. Unfortunately, some don't make it."
At Al Nasr Hospital, cases like Yusuf's are common: children whose growth has stalled or who are still young and have lost all their strength due to lack of food.
"We have two problems here. The first is the lack of food, and this has a severe impact on expectant and breastfeeding mothers. This is why many babies are born underweight and then don't receive milk from their mothers. The second is that due to the aid freeze, we no longer have formula for newborns, which is essential."
Al Nasr Hospital is one of the few with a neonatal ward. The incubators are all occupied, but many more are needed. "Who would accept something like this?" says Yusuf's mother. "The only hope is to have him treated abroad, before it's too late."
