India tops South Asia in child malnutrition: Unicef

According to the BBC, the region already has the largest number of malnourished children in the world and levels could get even worse. Even before the current crisis almost half of all Indian children showed signs of stunted growth, Unicef says. It claims that 48 per cent of under fives in India are stunted, compared to 43 per cent in Bangladesh and 37 per cent in Pakistan.
