Today, the country faces a food crisis of unprecedented scale. Despite continuing humanitarian aid, about 17 million people — that is, about half the population — are food insecure (WFP 2023), and more than half a million children under the age of five are estimated to suffer from severe acute malnutrition (UNICEF 2023)

[2] وفضلاً عن ذلك، يطرح موضوع الأمن الغذائي المزيد من التحديات أمام الأمهات والأطفال، حيث يتسبب نقص التغذية السليمة خلال فترة الحمل أو في مرحلة الطفولة المبكرة في ارتفاع مخاطر الإصابة بالتقزُّم والهزال وتراجع نواتج التعليم.[3]
