Sri Lanka ranks 06th in world’s child malnutrition

Date:

Sri Lanka has ranked 06th in terms of child malnutrition in the world, revealed UNICEF.

Sri Lanka has also ranked second among the South Asian countries facing malnutrition, noted George Larry, Director of the South Asian Region for UNICEF, who is currently on a tour in Sri Lanka.

The rising cost of living spawned by the economic crisis in Sri Lanka has contributed to the decline of diet and the people have severely been affected from the rising food prices, pushing them to skip their daily meals, he added.
