Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 53
- Paragraph text
- While humanitarian aid staples often consist of rice, beans, oil and tinned produce, as well as products to meet the nutritional needs of children, there is frequently a shortage of higher value or perishable foodstuffs, such as meat, fish and vegetables. A restricted diet over any significant period can result in inadequate nutrition and malnutrition, with a lasting effect on the health of individuals and their susceptibility to illness. In this respect, the Special Rapporteur stresses the importance of taking into account the specific needs of children, breastfeeding mothers and groups with specific dietary habits, such as nomadic peoples. Systematically implementing an approach to hunger and food security that recognizes the need for availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality, means also including IDPs.
