Growing numbers do not have enough food to eat and more than a quarter are chronically undernourished, according to the report. The worst cases, where children under five are suffering acute malnutrition, rose late last year to 7.7 per cent from four per cent immediately after Saddam Hussein was ousted in April 2003.
