Mother of starving baby speaks to BBC


Hedaya al-Muta’wi’s 18-month-old son Mohammed suffers from malnutrition due to famine and weighs just 6kg.

He suffers from fatigue and can no longer stand or sit up. She told the BBC “my husband was killed in the war and I don’t have a breadwinner, except God”.

She said she works hard and labours to provide her son with baby formula milk, but can’t provide for him properly because she is alone.
