Mid-Upper Arm Circumference is used in combination with a measurement of height and weight to determine malnourishment.

Souad Mohammed Ali, 3, waits while the process takes place. @Somali #RedCrescent provides nutritional supplements for children who are malnourished.

"The ongoing political and economic turmoil in Sri Lanka is forcing many to contemplate migration. The government's apathy and public indifference may exacerbate the situation. Without swift action, migration could escalate to asylum-seeking and refugee status.

#Tsunami #preparedness within #SriLanka's #education system
Only half of the 430 #SriLanka's schools exposed to tsunami are within audible range of a tsunami early warning tower. Need to establish alternative and backup early warning channels where needed

#Malnutrition is also increasing in the #teaplantations because of the #economiccrisislka. Their income is so low and many dont have steady income. Girls in the tea plantations migrate to #Colombo for job at an early age, often subjected to #protection issues and #earlymarraiges.

[Eed Care @EedCare]

Children in #srilanka tea plantations have limited access to higher #education. Their families work in poor conditions and live in dilapidated houses.
But from a remote hillside tea estate, a group of girls have become the first to go to university.

Collective actions by the authorities, Civil Society Organisations, participation of Fisher Communities coupled with Public Awareness & Public Education are needed to prevent this diaaster to save marine life & rich #biodiversity in the area & of course attract tourists for US$

#FaceThePlasticTruth at #Mangrove forest in Negambo lagoon area in #SriLanka. It's a disaster that cannot be seen from outside unless you go inside the thick mangrove forest looking for #plasticpollution. Collective & integrated efforts needed to prevent this and save marinelife

[Susil Perera @PereraSusil]

#India and #SriLanka governments should discuss and address this issue. What if there is #radioactive contamination from a #nuclear power plant? It can travel on the same trajectory......?

[Eed Care @EedCare]

#India and #SriLanka are connected in many ways. Recently, #SriLanka airspace was covered with thick fog, with unusual cold weather killing many cattle and other animals, including two babies. #schools were closed too. Well, it wasn't fog, but #AirPollution that came from India.
