With support from @GlobalFund, @UNDPaf is delivering lifesaving #malaria prevention, including the distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), to communities in areas recently affected by the earthquake.
Many displaced families are now living in temporary camps, exposing them to the risk of malaria. UNDP and partners acted swiftly to provide essential malaria prevention and treatment support in affected areas. #malaria #UNDP
