Doctors Without Borders Appeals Aid Ban

Doctors Without Borders appealed to Niger’s government yesterday to repeal its ban on the group’s activities, reports The New York Times.

The international charity had been treating 3,400 children for malnutrition in the southern part of the country when the government ordered the group to halt its programs three months ago. The Niger government has had tense relations with groups working to combat hunger there since 2005, when a food crisis killed many people and livestock in that country.
