Global acute and severe acute malnutrition rates are usually high but they could rise rapidly.
A large part of the population has neither food stocks nor household items, as they have been
lost to the floodwaters. Most of the maize, rice, cassava and sweet potato fields are completely
flooded.
What is the short and midterm strategy for food and nutrition of the population in the face of this
problem? Send your answers per sector within four hours.

Mohammed and Jasmina and their 4 children swam and walked holding each other until they
could reach a safe place. They have lost their cattle – five goats and five cows. They mention
that almost all the cattle have drowned in the area and the landscape is strangely quiet. “We
used to pay for school fees with the money earned from the animals” says Jasmina. “When we
had nothing else, we would sell one”. Their harvests have been destroyed, the family looks to
the future with anxiety. Their means of living have disappeared as well as their tools.
But the worst is that even their savings – 1,000 USD laboriously saved by a sister living in India
have also disappeared in the rising waters. “When I lost that money, I lost my hope” recalls
Jasmina.

Media reports are indicating that a number of unaccompanied children have been taken away
from temporary shelters by an unknown group of people without consulting local authorities.
They appear to be an American religious organisation and have claimed that they are adopting

number of girls between the ages of 8 and 14.
