[View in browser]( [World Food Program USA.]( [DONATE]( {NAME}, After a bomb fell near their home in Khartoum, Sudan, Magedah did what any mother would do — she sought safety for her family elsewhere. Their journey took them almost 500 miles to a health center supported by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in eastern Sudan. The harrowing trip left 2-year-old Sittna too sick to even walk. [Magedah with her daughter, Sittna, at a camp for displaced people in eastern Sudan. Sittna is standing and holding on to her mother.

Sittna received lifesaving malnutrition treatment at a WFP-supported health center. A malnourished child is up to 11 times more likely to die than a well-nourished one. Even children who recover can face lifelong effects on their physical and cognitive development, with more severe setbacks the longer malnutrition goes untreated. Today, Sittna is healthy and no longer suffers from malnutrition thanks to the lifesaving treatment she received.
