Refugee Nutrition Information System No 06 - Report on the Nutrition Situation of Refugee and Displaced Populations

UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 1994

Available in : English

The UN ACC/SCN decided to set up an information system to track the nutrition of refugees and displaced people. Distributing this information should help to bring action to improve the situation.
This is the sixth of a regular series of reports, issued every two months. This report is the second in the series to include reports on some Asian refugees and displaced people. We have chosen to begin the Asia section with the relatively small population of Bhutanese refugees in Nepal and refugees from Myanmar in Bangladesh due to persistent reports of micronutrient deficiencies. As in the past, Southern Iraqi refugees in Iran are also included.
