As the 21st Century progresses, so does the opportunity to treat malnutrition in childhood more effectively.  Ready-to-Use Food (RUTF) is now the standard of care.  Today, more focus and attention is being paid to improving the protein quality and overall nutritional composition of RUTF products.  

This project in Gaza intends to produce an RUTF utilizing halva, a locally available sesame-based food product.  With nearly 30% of children in Gaza City suffering from SAM due to ongoing conflict and food insecurity, this intervention aims to leverage local resources to provide life-saving treatment.
