2026Open accessMekelle University

Abstract

Post-war dietary diversity in Mekelle remains low and is significantly associated with socioeconomic and demographic factors. The reduced intake of nutrient-dense foods highlights critical gaps in child nutrition. Targeted nutrition education for caregivers and interventions promoting dietary diversity are essential in conflict recovery areas.
