WHO is providing people in #Tigray with essential supplies and supporting #healthworkers to prevent and treat severe malnutrition.

Where there is hunger, disease follows closely behind. People who are weakened by acute malnutrition are more at risk of falling sick and dying from diseases such as cholera or malaria. #Tigray
Children are at the highest risk of dying from malnutrition. They catch infections more easily, take longer to recover, and may be weaker for the rest of their lives. This is why people need access to health services including nutritional care. #HealthForAll #Tigray
