Neonatal and child health crises due to recent floods in Pakistan.
Annals of Medicine and Surgery 2022 December
Neonates and children are more vulnerable to the negative impact of flood-related changes and may have a variety of detrimental negative impacts on their health. They are more prone to get various infectious diseases. They are also more vulnerable to malnutrition during floods. Flooding limits access to clean water as sewage overflows and contaminates nearby water sources. The polluted setting in the flood-affected area makes it difficult to ensure the hygiene of feeding equipment used to prepare infant formula. Breastfeeding may also become less effective due to the lack of privacy for women to breastfeed their kids while living in temporary shelters with other flood victims. In addition, milk production decreases and might even cease due to mothers' reduced food intake and increased stress levels. Flooding may also cause supplemental feeding to deteriorate. The mothers and other primary caregivers usually lack the resources in affected areas to prepare supplemental diets for their kids, which further harm the babies. There is mounting evidence that children are more likely to develop clogged noses, itchy eyes, hoarseness, skin complications, and sneezing while living in humid areas.
