Prickly and I know it.
"As we entered the maternity unit, a large yellow room with around 45 beds, the majority of them occupied, the doctor explained that the aid cuts were causing an epidemic of life-threatening pregnancy complications. Starving women were giving birth to premature babies. Even those who made it to term were often dangerously underweight. The hospital was understaffed, and people in the camp were so anemic that they couldn’t get enough blood donations. Otieno had twice donated himself while he was midsurgery in order to save a pregnant woman’s life."
