The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has estimated around 70,000 children under five are at risk of malnutrition and require urgent humanitarian support, one month after the first of two major earthquakes hit Nepal. According to UNICEF, around 15,000 children in 14 of the worst-hit districts need therapeutic foods for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition. Additionally, some 55,000 children with moderate acute malnutrition require supplementary feeding and care to bring them back to healthy growth and development. UNICEF said across nearly two dozen districts affected by the earthquake 1.7 million children remain in urgent need of humanitarian aid, with the risk of long-term physical and emotional conditions climbing.
