"Unfortunately, in recent days, we have noticed with regret that several children are not able to feed themselves properly according to their age and needs. And as a result of this development, there have been cases of severe anaemia due to nutritional deficiencies (in children)," said Erenel, who focused on the impact of the ongoing economic crisis in the occupied territories.
"It is no longer possible for some children to have access to special and complementary foods. These are the most basic nutrients such as milk," the T/C doctor added.
In the context of her remarks, Erennel added that "in addition to being able to access health services, it is the most basic right of children to have access to food in a way that will continue their development. Only in this way can our future be secured."
