A rapid survey conducted in 15 flood-affected districts suggests that the number of children suffering from wasting in Pakistan’s flood-affected areas had greatly increased compared to the pre-flood situation, which was already reaching emergency levels.
The UN Pakistan dedicates USD $5.5 million out of the USD $6.5 million allocation received from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) towards emergency nutrition and food security interventions. The funds will help UNICEF, WFP, WHO and NGOs provide emergency nutrition interventions as part of the Government-led flood response in the most vulnerable communities of Balochistan and Sindh, with OCHA coordinating.
