A year after a massive earthquake devastated Haiti, the UN World Food Program has documented that fully 72% of Haitian children ages 6-12 suffer from iodine deficiency, Examiner.com reports. Five percent of all children from 6 months to 5 years are acutely malnourished and 32% suffer chronic malnutrition.

The Haiti Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA II), conducted in June 2010, also identified massive public nutrition support programs attempting to meet the needs.
