In Syria, over 12 million people are food insecure1 and 1.3 million are severely food insecure. Conditions are particularly dire for children with over 553,000 children are chronically malnourished and 245,000 are acutely malnourished. 2 One in three pregnant women is anemic due to inadequate nutrition.10 Deteriorating economic conditions in Syria and the impact of the COVI-19 pandemic have contributed to such exponential rates of food insecurity and malnutrition among the population. Vital interventions like ready-to-eat therapeutic food and infant and young child feeding (IYCF) programs targeting pregnant and lactating women and their children have proven essential for addressing the hunger crisis.
