Hazratullah, one year, is held by his mother Korjana after just arriving at the Boost Hospital emergency room in Lashkah Gar, Afghanistan. Afghan hospitals like Boost, in the capital of war-torn Helmand province, have been registering significant increases in severe malnutrition amongst children. Countrywide, such cases have increased dramatically according to United Nations figures. Lashkar Gah is a place where warfare has disrupted people’s lives and pushed many vulnerable poor over the nutritional edge. Since 2009, MSF has been supporting activities in Boost provincial hospital for at risk patients in Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand province.
