22% suffering malnutrition in Sindh, Pakistan

Sindh, Pakistan has a alarming malnutrition rate of about 22% of the population caused after the floods.
The rate is well above the World Health Organisation’s 15 per cent emergency threshold which triggers a humanitarian response.
The report was launched by the IFRC’s Head of Pakistan Delegation Karen Helene Bjornestad, the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) on Monday.
“High level of malnutrition among the flood-affected communities of Pakistan is one of the most challenging humanitarian problems that we are faced with today,” Bjornestad said.
 The report also said that in 2011 almost a billion men, women and children slept hungry every night.
