Two young siblings in Polewali Mandar, West Sulawesi are like bags of bones due to malnutrition.
The local health agency only inspected the conditions of Sahrul, 6, and Sahril, 5, when they came into the media spotlight nearly a year ago.
After the media hype on malnutrition in the country died down, they were left neglected, making their conditions worse.
Nurhayati, the aunt who takes care of the children after being abandoned by their parents, said she could not afford to give them adequate nutrition as her income as a vegetable vendor at a local market hardly makes ends meet, kompas.com reported Tuesday.
The children's father, Imran, had left them four years ago, while their mother Rini also later abandoned them. (iwa)
