| 3 | Recognizing 53.7% of children under the age of five are suffering with Anemia equaling |
| 4 | approximately 6,486,960 of the population worldwide due to malnutrition, |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Reminding all nations to celebrate the 49th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on the |
| 7 | Eradication of Hunger and Malnutrition, which develops means to prevent malnutrition in all |
| 8 | countries as well as encouraging the General Assembly of the United Nations to protect and |
| 9 | support impoverished countries that struggle with ending hunger, |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Reaffirming its resolution 3348 on November 16, 1974, which provides the United Nations with |
| 12 | awareness of the multitude of impoverished countries where it is a necessity to receive funding to |
| 13 | prevent starvation, |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Noting with deep concern that the Plurinational State of Bolivia requires the General Assembly’s |
| 16 | aid as it works to end Anemia in youth by preventing childhood hunger, |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Recognizing that the main cause of Anemia in children under the age of five is a result of iron |
| 19 | deficiency caused by malnutrition in youth; |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Requests that all nations gather additional funding to provide the youth of Bolivia with Ready-to- |
| 22 | Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Alluding to a statement by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund: RUTF |
| 25 | paste was invented by a French research scientist, Andre Briend, 25 years ago and became |
| 26 | commercially available in the early 2000s. It is made from powdered milk, peanuts, butter, |
| 27 | vegetable oil, sugar, and a mix of vitamins and minerals. One RUTF sachet combines 500 calories |
| 28 | and micronutrients that have: High nutritional value allowing malnourished children to gain weight |
| 29 | quickly, Two-year shelf life, making it convenient to pre-position in a warehouse, Appealing taste |
| 30 | and easy digestibility, no need for preparation - children eat it directly from the packet. |
| 31 | Expresses Appreciation to all nations that will collaborate with Bolivia so that it will be able to gain |
| 32 | the pecuniary needed to supply R.U.T.F for all the children suffering in Bolivia from Anemia; |
| 33 | |
| 34 | According to the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) the RUTF |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Convinced that by supplying a food source that has a high concentration of iron, the United |
| 37 | Nations will be able to prevent Anemia in the Bolivian Youth. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | We hereby declare that as assembly permits, this resolution will take effect November 2, 2023. |
