GENEVA, Aug 11 (AFP) - The Swiss branch of the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres made an urgent appeal Thursday for doctors and nurses to volunteer for aid work in Niger amid signs that malnutrition there is worsening.
MSF (Doctors Without Borders) Switzerland said its doctors in the vast northwest African country were overburdened, with more than 1,000 severely malnourished children found in the past three weeks around the country's second largest town, Zinder.
'According to the teams, the situation they are facing is only the tip of the iceberg,' MSF Switzerland said in a statement."
