UN report warns of increased malnutrition cases in Haiti
Apr 03, 2013
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, CMC – A growing number of people in Haiti are at risk of malnutrition after heavy rains damaged food crops last year, according to the United Nations.
In its monthly bulletin, the UN mission here said that as much as 90 per cent of the food crops had been destroyed during the rainy season last year and as a result there has been an increase in the number of people not getting enough food to eat.
The UN said that at least one in five households faces a serious food deficit and acute malnutrition despite efforts to reduce hunger and malnutrition is worst in Grande-Anse with reports of acute malnutrition in southeastern Haiti.
