The United Nations (UN) has disclosed that atleast six million children under the age of five in the northern part of Nigeria will experience acute malnutrition till April 2023.<\/p>\n

This was made known on Wednesday by Stephane Dujarric, UN spokesperson while speaking at a news conference in New York.<\/p>\n

She said an estimated 512,000 pregnant and lactating women will also experience severe malnutrition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dujarric said there is a need to improve humanitarian response in the region, adding that the fund for the current intervention plan in the north-east is\u00a0below 50 percent.<\/p>\n

He said the recent flooding disaster destroyed over 650,000 hectares of farmlands, worsening food insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n

“Our humanitarian colleagues in Nigeria are calling on the government and the donor community to urgently unlock resources to support children amid a deteriorating nutrition crisis,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNearly six million children under the age of five in the north of the country are estimated to suffer from acute malnutrition from May until April 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore than 512,000 pregnant and lactating women are also estimated to suffer from acute malnutrition.\u201d<\/p>\n

During a recent engagement in Nigeria, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF)\u00a0said 100 children under the age of five die of malnutrition in Nigeria every hour.<\/p>\n

Nemat Hajeebhoy, UNICEF\u2019s chief nutrition officer, said if urgent action is not taken, another 15 million children are at risk of \u201cwasting\u201d \u2013 a term used to describe children who get emaciated as a result of malnutrition.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery hour in Nigeria, almost a hundred children under the age of five die. So by the time we are done with this meeting, 300 children would have died in this country,\u201d the nutrition officer said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
