Malnutrition in DRC: fighting against neglect

This photoreportage shows the action of DG ECHO in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to fight against malnutrition hurting the population and particularly children.
4.2 million children in DRC suffer from acute malnutrition, a silent crisis of staggering proportions. In a country about two thirds the size of western Europe, the town of Kahemba is reached by traveling 24 hours on mostly deserted roads from the capital Kinshasa. It is here that EU humanitarian aid has allowed Action Against Hunger (ACF) to deploy an emergency team that - in true firefighting spirit – is saving children from the agony of death by malnutrition.
