Along with Mali, Nigeria, Chad, Niger, Cameroon, Sudan, Madagascar, Kenya, South Sudan, Congo, and Uganda, it said that Pakistan is one of the 12 hardest-hit nations.
Just 262,000 severely wasted youngsters in Pakistan (one-third of the total needy children) have gotten the life-saving RUTF treatment this year. It is anticipated that Pakistan’s supply of RUTF will run out in March 2025, endangering continuing treatment initiatives.
A statement claims that certain countries continue to have extremely high rates of severe wasting in children under five, which is attributed to conflict, economic shocks, and climate disasters.
Pakistan is one of the top 12 most affected nations.
