Survey notes increase in malnutrition rates

    NAIROBI

    A nutritional survey of 900 children in the displaced camps of Ed Daein in south Darfur noted that the global malnutrition rate had increased from 18 to 26 percent since the last survey was conducted in April. According to a WFP report, the survey found five percent of children were severely malnourished. Malnutrition rates for new arrivals were reportedly higher
    than those of existing IDPs and the rates differed from camp to camp, ranging from 24 percent in Adilla to 46.6 percent in Sherif.
