Shirika la Kuhudumia Watoto (UNICEF) imesema theluthi moja ya Watoto chini ya miaka 2 katika Nchi zinazoendelea hupata Chakula wanachohitaji kwa ukuaji bora
Ripoti ya UNICEF imesema majanga mbalimbali ikiwemo ghasia, mlipuko wa COVID-19 na mabadiliko ya Tabia Nchi yamekwamisha Maendeleo ya Lishe kwa Watoto katika Mataifa 91

Only a third of children under two in many developing countries are fed what they need for healthy growth and no progress has been made on improving their nutrition over the past decade.
Unicef, the UN’s children’s agency, said in a report published on Wednesday that a combination of crises from Covid-19 to conflict and the climate breakdown had stunted progress on children’s nutrition in 91 countries.
According to the report, half of children aged from six to 23 months across a range of developing countries were not fed the minimum number of daily meals and even fewer had a diverse diet that met minimum requirements.
Ahead of the UN’s food security summit on Thursday, Unicef UK said the British government could help tackle the problem by investing in nutrition.
As a result of poor diets, children can fall behind in school, become more vulnerable to illness and suffer the effects of malnutrition, including stunting and wasting, as well as becoming overweight or obese. Unicef estimates more than 11 million children under two are vulnerable to wasting globally.
