SORRY SCENARIO

Official reports of Pakistan reveal that around 11.7 million children in the country are stunted and underweight. The stunting found in 40 per cent of the children (8.3 million) is because of unhealthy environmental conditions, malnutrition and inadequate protein and calorie intake. Fourteen per cent children are underweight. These low weight children are more prone to deadly infections.
