United Against Malnutrition & Hunger
@uamh.bsky.social
United Against Malnutrition & Hunger (UAMH) is an alliance pressing the UK Government and politicians of all parties for global action on malnutrition and hunger, which is the cause of 45% of deaths of children under 5.
A glimmer of good news!
Thank you for asking this important question @BaggyShanker
Malnutrition causes 45% of the deaths of under-fives & 20% of maternal deaths worldwide. It wreaks misery & fuels instability.
People in Gaza must have access to nutrition.

Stretched ODA makes the Child Nutrition Fund vital.
A financing partnership pioneered by the UK with @UNICEF @CIFFchild & @gatesfoundation, it boosts UK development funding to improve the lives of millions of children.

Conflict & are locked in a deadly cycle. That’s the grim reality driving famine in Sudan today.
Powerfully described by Baroness Anelay.
It is a difficult listen. But we need to know.

Well said @BaronessGoudie.
In Sudan, women & children are starving because food is being used as a weapon of war.
Antenatal supplements & emergency therapeutic food would limit the perpetrators' impact on the next generation.

Food is the present & the future.
Yet funding for famine-hit Sudan is short, says @jonny_oates
Not enough for infants' emergency therapeutic food.
Not enough for smallholder farmers to restore food production.
#InvestmentInNutrition saves lives now & beckons a better tomorrow.

Proven, cost-effective Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food pulls young children back from the brink of starvation.

Thank you, The Lord Bishop of Leeds, for laying out the staggering suffering in Sudan, where 25-30 million people are hungry & 16 million children need aid.
What is the Government’s assessment of this humanitarian situation, he asks.

There is famine in Sudan, where food is being used as a weapon of war - an utterly desperate emergency highlighted by @AnnelieseDodds.
Blocking food aid is against International Humanitarian Law.
The UK must lead the way in upholding the law & advocate strongly for compliance.

Thank you @EdwardMorelloWD, for leading this debate on Planned Reductions in Official Development Assistance in International Development.
The timing of cuts is terrible. They come as global need is rising, and many millions of children are suffering unimaginably from hunger.

In 2023, low- and middle-income countries spent over US$400 billion on debt repayments - more than on health and education.
This fuels hunger and malnutrition.
