NICEF deputy representative in Nepal, Rownak Khan, has said 15,000 children in Nepal are suffering from severe acute malnutrition and they need therapeutic feeding.
"In a country where just over 40 percent of the children are stunted, fears for their nutrition are raising," he said as quoted by Antara on Tuesday.
Khan further said there had been an urgent need for children in the 12 worst-hit districts across Nepal to return to their normal routine, a problem UNICEF had tried to resolve by setting up child-friendly spaces, opening schools and providing access to basic services such as health and water.
UNICEF has launched an appeal for US$50 million to support its humanitarian aid to Nepal over the next 90 days. (ebf)(++++)
