The results are catastrophic: Soaring malnutrition \u2013 between 10 and 20 percent of pregnant and breastfeeding women are malnourished, increasing the risks of pregnancy complications \u2013 and disease outbreaks.<\/li>\n<li>Maternal and newborn health care collapsing under pressure: Hospitals are overwhelmed and under attack, with oxygen and life-saving maternal health medicines running out.
