Umm, do most of those kids have distended bellies?
- losvedir 11mo agoI was wondering about that, too. It means they're malnourished, right?
- porphyra 11mo agoApparently potbellies can be caused by: * extreme protein malnourishment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwashiorkor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwashiorkor * intestinal parasites Given that the kids don't exhibit extreme wasting on their facial features and limbs, I would say it's probably the latter. Still really sad though, the poor kids!
