Gifty Amponsah from the Magpie Project highlighted alarming health issues among homeless children in temporary accommodations, including malnutrition, developmental delays, and dental decay caused by improper diets.
Monica Lakhanpaul, a pediatrician, noted that the lack of cooking facilities for families in hotels leads to children developing rickets and other serious dietary deficiencies.
Lakhanpaul stressed that the essential role of nutrition in early life cannot be overstated, indicating lasting impacts of inadequate diets on children's growth and development.
The Magpie Project revealed that many families resort to unhealthy takeout meals, which exacerbates health problems among children living in temporary accommodations and lacking proper nutrition.
