LAMONGAN, East Java: Ten undernourished babies in Lamongan
regency were placed in intensive care by health officials, Antara
reported on Saturday.

Data from the Babad Lamongan community health center showed
the babies mostly came from poor families, health center chief
Djijin B. Irodati said.

"We have put the babies in intensive care. Most of them come
from the villages of Soko and Kuripan," Djijin said.

However, the head of Lamongan's Regional Planning Agency, Ena
Soemana, denied the report, saying there were no undernourished
babies in the regency. "Lamongan is prosperous ... so it's
impossible for malnutrition to occur." (edt)
