Nearly 200 million children in the developing world suffer from stunted growth resulting from chronic maternal and childhood undernutrition, according to a UNICEF report released Thursday titled ‘Tracking Progress on Child and Maternal Nutrition’.

The report was published a day before a three-day internationals summit on world hunger.

The head of a U.N. food agency called on the world to join him in a day of fasting ahead of the summit to highlight the plight of 1 billion hungry people.
