&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;More than 39 billion in-school meals were missed globally during the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic due to school closures, according to a new UNICEF report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Since the beginning of the pandemic, nearly 370 million children have not been receiving a school meal in 150 countries, said the report by UNICEF Office of Research and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) released on January 28, 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The largest number of beneficiaries (in million) of school-feeding programmes are in India (~100 ), Brazil (48), China (44), South Africa (nine) and Nigeria (nine).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In India, the midday meals scheme (MDMS) has been shown to decrease calorie deficits in children by 30 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The report titled &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/COVID-19_Missing_More_Than_a_Classroom_The_impact_of_school_closures_on_childrens_nutrition.pdf&quot;&gt;COVID-19: Missing More Than a Classroom&lt;/a&gt; found that 1.6 billion learners in 199 countries worldwide were affected by school closures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;More than 39 billion in-school meals were missed globally during the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic due to school closures, according to a new UNICEF report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Since the beginning of the pandemic, nearly 370 million children have not been receiving a school meal in 150 countries, said the report by UNICEF Office of Research and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) released on January 28, 2021.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The largest number of beneficiaries (in million) of school-feeding programmes are in India (~100 ), Brazil (48), China (44), South Africa (nine) and Nigeria (nine).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In India, the midday meals scheme (MDMS) has been shown to decrease calorie deficits in children by 30 per cent.&lt;/p&gt;
