The United Nations is warning that Latin America’s hunger crisis is becoming even more critical – especially in Guatemala.
It has one of the highest rates of chronic malnutrition in the region, made worse by recent storms and the pandemic. The problem especially affects the country’s children.

There is a powder distributed by Indian government to kids under the age of 5. It's a mixture of different cereals ( wheat, rice, barley etc…). You mix it with water and boil and feed it to babies to prevent malnutrition. It's call ' Amritham' podi. It has become life saving in different parts of India.
Qatar has more money
Why they have kids?
Guatemala isn’t “Latin America” it’s Guatemala this is the same stunt they pull with African countries they list a problem in one country and say “Africa is going through so and so “ please just refer to the particular country you’re talking about without painting a broad brush on a continent/ region in your click baiting titles .
How could ppl help without being raip off by wff?
Can’t feed yourself but have 4 children?
It is a deeply religious superstitious country where there no sexual education in school, Access to contraception and condom is difficult an abortion is illegal but it is perfectly fine for a child to be born to be malnourished or to starve to death based on a religious text but yet they have morality bunch of hypocrites.
That could be a major humanitarian issue there? Or it could be an avoidable disaster!
Great report Al Jazeera. You have come a far ways to make a true story known.
The Spaniards messed all these Latin American countries up, and of course other imperial powers as well……
With that being said, they have to legalize abortion there. Poor people having kids is a DISASTER economically. I wish the people of Guatemala the best of luck, I just finished a good book on Pedro de Alvarado. The Spaniards did a TON of damage to Latin America.
Позор америке! Скатилась под плинтус.
