Malnutrition feared in Myanmar’s hard-hit flood zones
Widespread malnutrition and food shortages are feared in the aftermath of devastating monsoon floods that wiped out large tracts of the agriculture and livestock industries, according to a new survey report.
An assessment team from the United Nations, the World Food Programme and other international aid agencies found that floodwaters killed almost a quarter of a million livestock and destroyed nearly 30,000 hectares of fish and shrimp ponds.
