DUBAI, 13 November 2009 (IRIN) – An estimated 200 million children aged under five in the developing world suffer from stunted growth due to maternal and childhood undernutrition, according to a <\/span>new UNICEF report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Stunting is associated with developmental problems and is often impossible to correct. A child who is stunted is likely to experience a lifetime of poor health and underachievement,” a UNICEF statement on 11 November said.<\/p>\n

In the Middle East, the Occupied Palestinian Territory has a stunting prevalence of 10 percent, a surprisingly better result than other, far wealthier neighbours, which have the following scores:<\/p>\n

Lebanon – 11
\nJordan – 12
\nOman – 13
\nUAE – 17
\nSaudi Arabia – 20
\nKuwait – 24
\nIraq – 26
\nSyria – 28
\nEgypt – 29
