Indonesia: WFP And Kraft Support Flood-Affected Children In North Jakarta

Unexpected floods in Jakarta last month displaced thousands of people, including children. In disaster situations such as this, it's easy to lose track of eating the right kind of foods for a healthy life. WFP and Kraft Indonesia joined hands to ensure that this doesn't happen especially to the children in the evacuation centers.

Overview

Indonesia is the 5th country with the largest number of stunted children. The stunting rate is higher than 30% in most districts (ranging from 23-58%). It is also highly vulnerable to natural disasters – earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. In 2010, it ranked second in the world in terms of vulnerability to extreme weather and geophysical events. On average, one million people are affected by disasters annually.
