UNICEF: Concerned about grave violations of children's rights in Haiti

Geneva-Sana

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has expressed its concern over the grave violations of children's rights in Haiti, calling for immediate action to save their lives amid the threat of cholera, malnutrition and violence.

The United Nations News Center quoted the organization as saying that nearly 100,000 children under the age of five suffer from severe acute malnutrition, noting that malnourished children are more at risk of cholera outbreaks, in addition to the rights of children to life, education, safe drinking water and sanitation. Health, health and nutrition are under threat amid the escalation of violence and the heightened insecurity.

The organization indicated that the majority of children have not gone to school since the start of the school year on the 3rd of October recently, and after three years of not reporting any case, cholera has returned again, threatening the health, well-being and even the lives of 1.2 million children living in areas that have been infected with the virus. Report cases of cholera.
