Christian News,World Christian News,Malaysia Church,Religion Christianity

The UN Children's Fund, UNICEF, says that severe acute malnutrition in the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh jumped by 27 percent compared to the same period last year, and warns that in the camps, at least fifteen percent of the children are malnourished, and therefore eleven times more likely to die.

Multiple compounding factors, the organization explained, are contributing to the disturbing escalation. In the camps, more than 15 percent of children are now severely malnourished, marking the highest levels recorded since the mass displacement of Rohingya refugees in 2017.At the start of the year, UNICEF estimated that 14,200 children in the Rohingya refugee camps would suffer from severe acute malnutrition in 2025, while also warning that poor diets, factors affect water and healthcare in the camps, and declining food rations, could cause these numbers to climb.
