August 01, 2020


Detik Health (Indonesia) published an article on the economy, children’s health, and nutrition. With a bad economic situation, many children in the world are threatened not to get the required nutrition. The article quoted from The Lancet journal article that published the study,  Impacts of COVID-19 on childhood malnutrition and nutrition-related mortality. Researchers of the study showed that “Disruptions to the economic system, food, and health due to COVID-19 are predicted to further aggravate all forms of malnutrition.” Predictions from IFPRI estimate around 140 million people will fall into the abyss of poverty.
