Undernutrition in mothers is rising sharply: UNICEF

world food crisis, the UN children's agency warned Monday, stressing the impact it is having on children's health.

Most of them are in the world's poorest regions, with South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa constituting 68 percent of women and adolescent girls who are underweight and 60 percent of those suffering from anemia. Malnutrition increases the risk of neonatal death, but can also"impair fetal development, with lifelong consequences for children’s nutrition, growth, learning and future earning capacity."

It estimates that between 2020 and 2022, the number of pregnant or breastfeeding women suffering from acute malnutrition increased by 25 percent, from 5.5 to 6.9 million, in 12 countries deemed to be in food crisis -- Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Chad and Yemen.
