By Alex Whiting LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Unrest over Nepal’s new constitution has led to severe shortages of fuel, food, medicines and vaccines, putting more than three million children at risk of disease during the harsh winter months, the U.N. children’s agency UNICEF said on Monday. Nepal has been in turmoil since September when it adopted a new constitution, sparking protests by members of the ethnic Madhesi groups, who argue that the country’s charter does not reflect their interests. UNICEF said child survivors of two major earthquakes in April and May could be worst hit by the shortages.
