In Yemen alone, 400,000 children are suffering severe malnourishment and are in desperate need of life saving supplies. Conflicts and disasters across the globe make it increasingly difficult for families to access food, putting children dangerously at risk of undernutrition. Adequate nourishment in childhood is extremely important in ensuring healthy brain and body development. When this doesn't happen, it threatens a child's life and future prospects.
