12-28 | For two days, Hadia who is 9 years old has refused to eat anything, even her favourite fruit, bananas. Her mother, Farida, took her to several health facilities and doctors, but her condition never seemed to improve. “I really don’t know the pain she’s going through, but I am here with her hoping she gets better soon. Anything people said, I tried. I took her to many doctors and paid a lot for her prescriptions, but she did not get better, and she even developed diarrhoea which got worse,” Farida says.
