UN Report: Child Stunting Rises to 64.8 Million in Africa

Africa is the only region where child stunting has increased since 2012, rising to 64.8 million, according to a UN report by UNICEF, WHO, and the World Bank.

Despite global efforts, child malnutrition remains widespread, with only 28% of countries on track to meet 2030 stunting targets. The report calls for urgent action and improved data to tackle the crisis.
