While children's rights are «seriously affected» by the global health crisis, Morocco has gained three places in the KidsRights Index compiled by the international organization KidsRights Foundation. The kingdom ranks 3rd in the Maghreb, 6th in Africa and is among the Top10 of the MENA region.
While stranded abroad, several parents have left their children behind in Morocco without knowing when and how they will be home again. Seperated, hurt and shaken by the situation, some of them shared their struggle with Yabiladi.
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, 1.4 million people in Morocco suffered from undernourishment between 2015 and 2017. This number was at 1.7 million people in the period between 2004 and 2006.
