Children of southern Sudan suffer from malnutrition

The international organization Doctors Without Borders said that it has treated 7,000 children south Sudan of diseases related to malnutrition.

The organization said these children suffered from hunger and said they are at a high risk of death from diarrhea and malaria.

Fighting between Sudanese government forces and southern rebels has forced more than 350,000 Sudanese persons to flee their houses and face famine and disease. Some started to eat leaves from the trees and jungle fruits to remain alive.
