Eli nani lokutyeba kakhulu kulindeleke ukuba liqhubeke likhula kwiminyaka ezayo
Malunga nama-30 ekhulwini abantwana abakubudala besikolo samabanga aphantsi eYurophu batyebe ngokugqithiseleyo okanye batyebe ngokugqithiseleyo, njengoko ingxelo yeWorld Health Organization (WHO) inikela ingxelo. Inani labantwana abawela kulo naluphi na udidi kulindeleke ukuba liqhubeke nokunyuka kwiminyaka ezayo.

Abantu abanobunzima bomzimba obungaphezulu kwama-30 bachazwa njengabatyebe kakhulu. Abo banesalathiso esingaphezulu kwama-25 bachazwa njengabatyebe kakhulu.
Isalathisi sobunzima bomzimba sinqunywe ngokusekelwe kubude kunye neekhilogram.
NgoLwesithathu, isibhengezo samkelwa kunye neengcebiso zokulwa nokukhula kobuntwana ukunyanya.
“Abantwana bethu bakhulela kwimeko-bume ekunzima kakhulu ukutya okunesondlo nokukhuthala. Lo ngunobangela wobhubhani wokutyeba ngokugqithiseleyo,” watsho uMlawuli weWHO European Bureau, uHans Kluge.
