Severe malnutrition is causing rates of infant mortality to rise in Venezuela, according to a report in the Guardian

The exact rate of cases is unknown because the Venezuelan government has not released figures in recent years, but data from 2017 reveals that the infant mortality rate rose 30% compared to the previous year.

One emergency room doctor who spoke to the Guardian said that malnutrition cases had spiked in the past one to two years. He said that many children were suffering from severe protein-calorie malnutrition.
