SOUTH SUDAN KALA AZAR — Nyaruach Biel looks on as MSF doctor Henna Hustafa examines her six year old daughter Nyathak Yien who is sick with kala azar. She had to have a blood transfusion due to low levels of red blood cells as a consequence of this disease at a Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders hospital in Lankien, South Sudan, Wednesday, 14 Jan 2015. The conflict that erupted in South Sudan little more than a year ago has left people more vulnerable to a deadly tropical disease known as kala azar (visceral leishmaniasis). The risk of infection increases as people are displaced by fighting into areas where the disease is prevalent and malnutrition lowers their ability to fight the infection.
