When food assistance is cut, families don't stop needing to eat. They are forced to eat less. At Kyangwali refugee settlement in #Uganda: 🔴 7 in 10 households have reduced their daily meals. 🔴 Malnutrition among children under 5 has risen nearly 50% in one year. Urgent, flexible and predictable funding is critical to protect lifesaving assistance for refugee families. #UNGA
