Volunteers have carried out community-based malnutrition management activities at the Al-Karama displacement camps in Damazin, Blue Nile Region, as part of interventions targeting children and improving their access to appropriate nutrition and healthcare services.
The activities focused on the early detection of malnutrition cases, provision of necessary nutritional services, and community-based follow-up of children, helping to improve their health and reduce complications associated with malnutrition.
The interventions are being implemented by Pankir Organization, with support from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), as part of efforts to improve children’s access to safe and effective nutrition services and support healthy growth amid the humanitarian challenges facing displaced families.
Speaking to Mashawir, Blue Nile community activist Mohsen Khairallah said: “Community-based nutrition interventions are extremely important, particularly for children living in displacement camps.”
He noted that “early detection of malnutrition cases and continuous follow-up help prevent further deterioration in children’s health.”
Khairallah stressed the importance of continuing and expanding these activities, alongside increasing awareness among families about proper nutrition and the need to seek care early when signs of malnutrition appear.
