According to the report, the number of children admitted to hospitals with severe acute malnutrition and medical complications has gradually increased since the floods, as global food prices have risen.
In response to the crisis, UN Resident Coordinator in Pakistan Julien Harneis announced that he would devote $5.5 million of the $6.5 million allocation from the Central Emergency Response Fund to emergency nutrition and food security interventions.
It stated that additional funding was “urgently required” to implement early detection, integrated prevention, and treatment of malnutrition in a larger number of villages and healthcare facilities, as only one-third of the nutrition interventions included in the Floods Response Plan had been funded thus far.
“There is also a need to increase the number of interventions that improve the availability, affordability, and accessibility of nutritious foods that protect children from wasting,” according to the UN.
The floods of 2022 were the tenth most expensive climate disaster to hit any country in the last decade. The floods cost the country an estimated $3 billion, killed over 1,700 people, and displaced eight million people.
