Administrator Samantha Power announced today that the United States, through USAID, is committing $200 million to maximize the procurement and distribution of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) and other specialized nutritious foods to prevent and treat acute malnutrition. These specialized, life-saving nutritious foods will be distributed through our partners UNICEF and the UN World Food Program (WFP) to people in desperate need around the world including in Sudan, Burkina Faso, and Haiti. This builds on USAID’s ongoing, life-saving nutrition support in places like Gaza and Ethiopia, where this assistance is vitally needed to prevent developmental delays, disease, and even death.
