The United Nations launches an appeal to save 30 million children suffering from malnutrition

International News

Geneva (ST): The United Nations has launched an appeal to raise funds “before it is too late” to help 30 million severely malnourished children in several countries affected by the global food crisis.

France Press Agency quoted a joint statement issued by five United Nations agencies yesterday. “.”More than 30 million children in several countries suffer from wasting – that is, acute malnutrition – and eight million of these children suffer from severe wasting, the most fatal form of undernutrition.”

The affected countries are Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

According to the five agencies, the massive rise in food prices has exacerbated food shortages and impeded access to basic foodstuffs at reasonable prices. Conflicts, climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated the situation.
