Around 181 million children worldwide under 5 years of age – or 1 in 4 – are experiencing severe child food poverty, making them up to 50 per cent more likely to experience wasting, a life-threatening form of malnutrition. • Children who consume, at most, two of eight defined food groups are considered to be in severe child food poverty, that four out of five children in this situation are fed only breastmilk/milk and/or a starchy staple, such as rice, maize or wheat. • Less than 10 per cent of these children are fed fruits and vegetables. And less than 5 per cent are fed nutrient-dense foods such as eggs, fish, poultry, or meat. • The report warned that while countries are still recovering from the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of growing inequities, conflicts, and the climate crisis have pushed food prices and the cost of living to record high levels. • Of the 181 million children living in severe food poverty, 65 per cent reside in just 20 countries. Around 64 million affected children are in South Asia, and 59 million are in Sub-Saharan Africa. • • Stay connected with Shia Waves News Agency in three languages: Arabic, English, and Persian, daily on Imam Hussein's media group TVs. • ☎️ To share news from your area on Shia Waves, simply send us a voice message via WhatsApp or Telegram at +9647722902299. • Get the Imam Hussein TV App for both IOS and Android: • 📲 Android and iOS: http://onelink.to/ihtv • Don't miss any updates by subscribing to the Shia Waves YouTube Channel.
