The United Nations Children Fund, on Tuesday, said at least three children died daily in Borno State of acute malnutrition between January and December 2019.

UNICEF also said 1,115 children have died from acute malnutrition in Borno between January and December 2019.

Other factors, he said, included poor funding of prevention interventions, duplication, and gaps in services, critical medicine shortages for such persons.“Also, an estimated 138,000 are expected to receive treatment for Severe Acute Malnutrition while 182 will receive treatment for Moderate Acute Malnutrition,” he said.

“The practice of open defecation poses a big threat and has remained a big contributor to malnutrition, especially in the IDPs camps, which can alter the children’s growth and affect their performance. Kumar- Das said untreated malnutrition could cause physical or mental disability to a child’s growth.

“Food security and nutrition situation remain fragile across North-East, particularly given the high level of aid dependency and the lack of access to land or other livelihood opportunities,” Ijumba said.
