Additional Information / Shotlist Since August 2022, MSF teams in Ad Dahi treating an influx number of patients with acute watery diarrhea and most of them are children under 5 years old with severe acute malnutrition. To respond to the needs as Ad Dahi hospital reached its full bed capacity, a 30-bed Diarrhea Treatment Centre was established at a local community charity center and more staff numbers were deployed to provide support.
