Manipur Livelihoods Mission gives kids in relief camps a nutritious boost

Manipur State Rural Livelihoods Mission (MSRLM) launched a pioneering task to provide locally-made nutritious food named "Mama's Nutrimix" to the hundreds of newborn babies and thousands of children living in the relief camps since the ethnic violence broke out in Manipur on May 3, leaving more than 70,000 men, women and children displaced from their homes and villages.

Around 12,700 children have been living along with their displaced parents and guardians in around 350 relief camps across the ethnic violence-hit Manipur.

The five-month-long ethnic riot between the non-tribals Meitei and tribal Kuki-Zo communities killed at least 180 people, injured more than 1,120 others while 34 people remained missing.
