The early phase of his life was full of emotional tragedies with him and his family. Everyone knows that Narmada Ahuja (Tina) is his elder daughter but only a few know that he had another daughter before Tina who died when she was just 4 months old and Tina was his second daughter.
“The current hepatitis E epidemic is closely linked to a lack of water, hygiene infrastructure and sanitation,” said MSF in a statement.
The site of attacks from the jihadist group Boko Haram since 2015, Diffa sits on the border with Nigeria and harbours at least 300,000 refugees and displaced people living alongside an already poor population, according to United Nations figures.
The UN has called on the international community to increase financing of aid to the region.
Between December 2016 and April 23, 25 pregnant women died of the disease and 135 cases were identified in Diffa, according to MSF.
“Water and sanitary services clearly do not meet the needs of this population,” said Elmounzer Ag Jiddou, who heads MSF’s work in Niger.
MSF is focusing on early detection of the disease, treating people for free and running a campaign promoting hand washing in order to stem the epidemic.
