In Niger, not all humanitarian aid lands where it’s supposed to. Markets in Maradi and Tahoua are filled with small orange packets that are actually food supplements for malnourished babies. Networks divert entire aid shipments and turn them into a business. These nutrient-dense products are being sold as snacks, and some even given to healthy children, which can be dangerous. In Maradi, civil society groups and NGOs are trying to convince vendors to keep these vital supplies for those who need them most, as FRANCE 24’s team reports.
