联合国儿童基金：营养不良是残疾的主要原因

A young girl tries to engage Soa Tamba (5) in play at THINK's transit centre for children in contact with law in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia. Soa, mentally challenged from birth, was found abandoned at the door of a hospital three years ago. The case was reported to the police who brought him to THINK. In recent times, Liberia continues to recover from a ruinous 14-year civil war that ended in 2003. Although the Government is working to rebuild the country‚Äôs destroyed infrastructure, many Liberians still live without access to basic services. The influx of approximately 178,000 refugees from Cv¥te d'Ivoire, who fled their own country after controversy surrounding the 28 November 2010 presidential election turned violent, has only exacerbated the situation. Waning supplies of safe drinking water and food, inadequate sanitation facilities, constricted access to medical care and overcrowding all threaten the health of Liberian and Ivorian children alike. The education of many children has also been disrupted because refugees stay in schools when there are not enough families to host them. The poor condition of roads makes it difficult for aid to reach remote areas, where many of the most vulnerable families live. Many of the refugees have returned home, but thousands have stayed back, often hosted by Liberian communities and families, both in rural and urban areas of the country. NGOs and the Liberian Government continue to work hard to provide life-saving services for both Liberian citizens and Ivorian refugees.

联合国儿童基金在2013年年度报道中称，发展中国家和新兴国家中的残疾儿童生活在孤立、更为贫困的状态，并受到歧视。他们以及他们的家庭属于全球最受忽视的人群。残疾儿童经常被送到孤儿院。报告指出，即便在工业国家，残疾儿童受到的暴力风险也比健康儿童高3至4倍。此外，与同龄孩子相比，他们上学的比例更低。根据联合国儿童基金的报告，产生严重生理和心理残疾的原因来自营养不良。全球每年有1.65亿儿童的生长发育受到营养不良的影响。
