The damage caused by floods is often seen in visible ways, like destroyed roads, ruined homes, and lost jobs. However, for children living in flood-prone areas of Kerala, the impact is less obvious but equally serious— it shows up in their growth and health. Repeated floods make it even harder for these children to recover fully, as their bodies are constantly stressed by poor nutrition and health challenges. To protect the health of these children, it’s important to provide better access to food, healthcare, and disaster preparedness in flood-prone areas. Addressing undernutrition now can help ensure that children grow up healthy and strong, even in the face of natural disasters.
