Au cours d’une pandémie à COVID-19 une détérioration de la situation nutritionnelle des enfants et des femmes est très probablement liée à l’augmentation des prix des denrées alimentaire...s, la réduction de la disponibilité alimentaire et la baisse du revenu de la population suite au ralentissement de la vie économique.
