The national lock-down causes the death of a 10-month-old child.
It happened last week on April 24 in Luanda the capital of Angola. The death of a boy of just 10 months was caused by hunger.
This fact shocked the neighborhood and who became aware of it. In the midst of the State of Emergency, the acquisition of goods becomes more difficult due to the exceptions adopted to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Due to extreme poverty, the lack of food has been a constant in many families, but this time the situation caused the death of a child under 10 months old.
The scarcity of food was so big that forced the mother to look for it in different places, but when she returned the boy had already died. The mother did not even have money to bury her son, and the neighbors joined in solidarity and bought a coffin, without having a means of transport, the mother carried the urn on her head to the cemetery, where she saw her son for the last time.
However, Angola still shows little respect for the freedom of expression laws. The TV show that reported this sad event was barred until further notice.
