Abstract:
Every year, communities in many parts of Nepal suffer from humanitarian crises as a result of natural disasters (such as floods, landslides, hail, droughts, etc.) or food insecurity (caused by natural disasters or events such as the food,fuel and financial (3Fs) crisis). Furthermore, the consequences of the decade-long armed conflict in Nepal have increased the vulnerability of children and pregnant and lactating women to these emergencies. UNICEF’s priority for nutrition in emergencies is to prevent death from starvation and disease,and to reduce malnutrition by supporting and protecting breastfeeding, especially exclusive breastfeeding,infant and young child feeding (IYCF), and therapeutic and supplementary feeding. UNICEF also promotes maternal nutrition to prevent low-birth-weight babies, monitors the growth of children aged less than two years, and assesses the situation of vulnerable children and women.
