Gaza malnutrition to have 'generational' impact on newborns, UN warns

A senior UN official warned Wednesday of generational impacts in Gaza from malnutrition among pregnant women and babies, urging a surge of aid to help prevent potential lifelong health issues. Malnutrition will have generational effects, not on the mother, but on the newborn, likely to result in ever longer lasting care and problems throughout the life of the baby, he said at UN headquarters in New York.
