During my visit to #SriLanka, I have listened to children & families talk about their struggles. Families are skipping regular meals; children are going to bed hungry. It is the poorest, most vulnerable girls and boys who are paying the steepest price: unicef.org/rosa/press-rel…

The education of 4.8 million children is at risk & more reports are emerging on protection issues. If the current trend continues, hard-earned progress for children in #SriLanka is at risk of being reversed and in some cases, erased permanently.

At the Batapotha clinic in Bataramulla, #SriLanka, I met 2-month-old Mevin & his mother. They had come in for a routine immunization visit. Health services for children & mothers must be prioritized during the crisis, so children can be protected from life-threatening diseases.

Children’s education was severely disrupted in #SriLanka due to the pandemic & now the economic crisis is causing further disruptions. At the Mount Jean school in Watawala village, I learnt that many students are unable to attend school regularly.

What moved me the most was that despite the challenges, when I spoke with the children and young people, they talked to me about their dreams. We must remember their hopes and dreams. And children must be put first as the country works to resolve this crisis.

We at @UNICEF are delighted to partner & combine strengths with @Rotary to support the 2.3 million boys & girls in Sri Lanka who need us most. This partnership is timely as families struggle to afford regular meals & medicine stocks are depleting rapidly. uni.cf/3T4RbVt

"Families can't buy what they used to buy. They are cutting down on meals, they are cutting down on nutritious food. So we are definitely getting into a situation where malnutrition is a major concern," I told the @BBCWorld bbc.com/news/world-asi…

The education of 4.8m children in #Sri Lanka is on the edge, 1st due to #COVID19 & now, the economic crisis. UNICEF’s work on the ground is to help children be in school and learn, like Dharmila

A malnourished child is 9-11 times at risk of death from preventable causes than his/her normal peer. UNICEF's efforts on the ground is to save the lives of Krishanthi and others like her

Logeshwary’s 2-yr-old daughter Krishanthi is suffering from severe acute malnutrition. The family survives on the father’s weekly income of about 8.5 US$ a week. With soaring food prices due to the economic crisis, they are worried about how they will put food on the table.
