Malnutrition is a major public health problem in developing countries, especially in countries with violence emerging from armed conflicts. In Cameroon, armed conflict has stirred up the challenges in addressing malnutrition. Not much is known about the nutritional status of internally displaced children in the country. The objective of this study is to provide a baseline information about the nutritional status of children displaced from the south and north west regions as a result of the Anglophone Crises in Cameroon. This will guide in developing new strategies in addressing the silent emergency. The Douala City of the Littoral region was chosen because it represents a large number of displaced families from different communities in the Anglophone region. Data was collected from a total of 145 internally displaced children under-five, and the prevalence of stunting, wasting, underweight, and anemia was determined, alongside nutritional-related associated factors.
