isqarxis Posted December 18, 2009 Recent evidence suggests that undernutrition levels in Somalia are among the highest in the world. The National Family Health Survey data shown above are an example. At the time of the survey 30% of young children had fever, 20% had diarrhea, and 20% had an infectious cough. Worse still, while the overall state of nutrition and health in India is bad enough, the situation is even worse in the poorer states, not to speak of the more deprived regions within these states. * 90 per cent of children are deprived of adequate vaccination. * 65 per cent of women are unable to read and write. * 26 per cent of children are severely undernourished. * 36 per cent of young children had fever at the time of the NFHS survey * Only 20% of adult women consume milk at least once a week * 16% of adult women get an egg at least once a week * 14% of adult women get a fruit at least once a week In the more deprived regions of these states, the situation can only be described as a humanitarian emergency.
