 Those leaps in the early years should be the biggest challenges young children face. Yet more than 30 million children in the 15 worst affected countries are wasted, meaning they are acutely malnourished. And 8 million of these children are severely wasted. That's why we created the UN Global Action Plan on Child Wasting. Our joint effort to prevent, detect and treat child wasting globally. Conflicts, climate shocks, the pandemic's ongoing ripple effects and the rising costs of living have left more and more children wasted. And med key services less accessible. We need urgent action to save lives and tackle the root causes of child wasting. We need to improve analysis and ensure that we reach children and women most at risk with our interventions, including the internally displaced and the refugees. We need to ensure mothers and children can access primary health care services to prevent and treat diseases that contribute to waste. Enable availability, affordability and accessibility to healthy adults for young children, pregnant and breastfeeding women. Strengthen social safety nets and food assistance to provide specialized nutritious food to the women and the children who need them most. We need to scale up proven solutions to prevent, detect and treat child wasting early while supporting an integrated response across maternal and child nutrition, social protection, food security, safe water, sanitation and hygiene. We know what works and we know how to deliver it, but we need that U.S. support. Let's give every child everywhere a chance to survive and thrive.
