📍North #Darfur.
@UNICEF & partners just concluded a nutrition campaign reaching some 23,000 children & 9,000 pregnant & lactating women with life-saving services.
Yet the needs remain immense and much more must be done to reach those in need.
Every child has the right to adequate nutrition. There is more than enough food produced in the world to feed everyone on the planet, yet we are still far from a world without malnutrition.
Here are five ways UNICEF is working to change this:
Insecurity
Flooding
Inaccessible roads
Despite challenges, UNICEF and partners are working to screen children in Sudan for malnutrition and provide them with essential nutritional treatments.
#Lebanon | In line with the 🇫🇷 pledge of 100 tons of aid made at the humanitarian conference in Paris on 24 October, the @CdCMAE delivered the final 39 tons yesterday with the help of @eu_echo.
Many thanks to @Nutriset_Fr, @UNICEF, and our 🇫🇷 & 🇱🇧 NGO partners for their support.
Did you know❓❓❓
Plumpy nut, a 🥜peanut-based paste, is vital in times of food crisis, as it is a protein- and energy-rich food which helps treat child malnutrition.
Thanks to @eu_echo support, @ALIMA_ORG made it accessible to mothers and children of Zinder region in Niger.
Entre mai 2021 et juillet 2023, le PAM a acquis près de 1 000 tonnes de Plumpy’Sup auprès de @InnoFaso , permettant la prise en charge de plus de 110 000 enfants de 06 à 59 mois souffrant de malnutrition aiguë modérée (MAM) #BurkinaFaso@EPruscini
As violence continues to increase in Haiti, Meds & Food for Kids' staff in Cap-Haïtien are still able to produce vital Ready-to-Use Therapeutic treatments for malnourished children.

Great to see the @WHO guidelines on the prevention and management of #wasting launched this week. Prevention is vital if we are going to break the cycle of poor health, #malnutrition and #poverty that are so closely interlinked. There should no place for severe malnutrition in this world. Treatment is for when the protection system has failed: prevention is key. https://t.co/wL7rSQLlA8
