Safe water for the nutrition and heat-related health of displaced women

Most internally displaced people (IDPs) are located in the global tropics, often in heat-exposed shelter without electricity, and are vulnerable to food insecurity, meaning they often experience heat stress and undernutrition simultaneously.1Over the past decade, research has also shown a concerning correlation between exposure to heat stress and undernutrition outcomes;2 however, there has been limited investigation into the exact mechanisms that relate heat stress and undernutrition and none relating these to IDP mobility. As a result, no policies have been made to address these interactions.
