Caption:
This 1968 photograph, captured during the Nigerian-Biafran civil war, showed a Nigerian school, inside one of the country’s refugee camps, which was used as a clinic, or food distribution point for camp residents. The National Communicable Disease Center (NCDC) helped to treat the 500,000 cases of malnutrition, by setting up food distribution centers and clinics in refugee relief camps, surrounding the Nigerian war zone. Protein enriched foods, including dried codfish and powdered milk, were made available to the children suffering with the protein-calorie malnutrition disease called kwashiorkor.
