KHARTOUM, Sudan — In a crowded hospital ward, 30-year-old Alawiya Zakaria sits clutching her 1-year-old daughter, Sabba, in her arms. The child is painfully thin, her bones and skull protruding under her skin, her feet and stomach swollen from severe malnutrition. Zakaria said she feared the worst before she undertook a four hour walk to get her daughter to Al Buluk Pediatric Hospital in Omdurman, a city across the White Nile River from Khartoum, the capital city where Zakaria lives.
