Its kawashiorkor, the are many types of treatment, i think that this is a very extremnly case, you can give a progresive diet of nutrients, first 120 kcal/day/kg of descremated milk during 2/3 weeks, then you can increase the diet with animal proteins. In severe cases, small blood transfusions, plasma and / or proteolysis can be used to combat hypoproteinemia, as well as parenteral hydration.

Look the arms, in the first two photos, very skinny in both this is a sign of malnutrition that could cause the kawashiorkor, in the third photo there is another child, other case of hepatic cirrhosis? I think that you should rule out the kawashiorkor because liver cirrhosis in both child's less likely. But we have to wait for the answer.
