问题 "Much of the sickness and death attributed to the major communicable diseases is in fact caused by malnutrition which makes the body less able to withstand infections when they strike," said Dr Hiroshi Nakajima, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Such(52)represent deprivation,  suffering and wasted human potential(53)a scale that is unacceptable from every point of view. Whether we think in(54)of humanitarian concern, common justice or development needs, they demand a(55), both from national  governments and from the international community."
It is now(56)that 6.6 million out of the estimated 12.2 million deaths(57)among children under-five--or 54% of young child mortality in developing  countries-is associated with malnutrition, In some(58), such as sub-Saha-ran  Africa and south Asia, stagnation(停滞)of nutritional improvement(59)with a rapid rise in population has resulted in an(60)increase in the total number of malnourished children.(61), over two-thirds of the world’s malnourished children live in Asia (especially south Asia), followed by Africa and Latin America.

Without the attention(65)them, little progress can be made towards household food security, appropriate diets, the control of micronutrient(微量元素)deficiencies, the promotion of breast-feeding, and other strategies listed in the Plan of Action adopted in 1992 (at the International Conference on Nutrition in Rome)."
