U.N. report: Child hunger is a costly burden on C. America

A U.N. study calculated that child hunger in Central America costs several billions of dollars each year in diminished education, health care and overall productivity. Malnutrition becomes “a critical economic concern,” said U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon yesterday as the report also found that nearly one million children under five-years-old in Central America and the Dominican Republic suffer from malnutrition.
