Aichatou and her twin sister Fadimatou both suffer from severe acute malnutrition. Timbuktu, Mali, March 2020.Acute malnutrition affects 1 in 10 children in Mali. In crisis-affected regions like Timbuktu, this rate is even higher (13.1%). For children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, UNICEF promotes play as part of recovery and has introduced toys in therapeutic wards. The latest innovation is the introduction of "Eat and Play" boxes: cartons of ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) which can then be transformed into simple carton toys such as animals, towers and toy trucks. The approach is helping speed up the recovery of the most affected children.View more with similar tones © UNICEF/UNI319179/Coulibaly2020COUNTRIES:MaliUnique identifier:UNI319179Source name:Bourama CoulibalyDocument Date:April 09, 2020Download document informationDownloadShareKEYWORDS:girl-Health-infant nutrition-infants (under 1 year)-malnutritionIn-house Identifier:3I8A7481File Import date:April 08, 2020UNICEF Office:MaliSize:2000px × 1330px (~7 MB)Color:ColorFile type:jpgParent folder:Eat & Play boxesRelated Assets:View All
