Postwar nutritional status of lactating mothers: evidence from war-torn Tigray, Ethiopia
This study revealed a high maternal undernutrition prevalence among lactating mothers in Tigray in the post-conflict era. Therefore, interventions targeting educational opportunities, iodized salt use, and adequate meal frequency may help improve the nutritional status of lactating mothers in the conflict-affected areas in Tigray, Ethiopia.
