There is a fear of an increase in child deaths due to the Corona pandemic

UNICEF has warned of the risk of the death of more than 51,000 children under the age of five in the Middle East and North Africa region by the end of 2020 due to the essential health and nutritional care disorders necessary for children, resulting from the # Coronavirus pandemic. And if the current disruption in the region continues, the number of deaths will increase by approximately 40% compared to pre-outbreak figures.

The Maat Foundation includes its voice to the voice of # UNICEF and other organizations and bodies working on children's rights, with the necessity to resume vaccination campaigns and nutrition services, follow strict preventive measures to prevent infection, and give priority and facilitate children's access to primary health care services.
