520	3		_aThe occurrence of armed conflict has been staged as a global challenge to development economics, health, and food security. Children, especially those who are from upland, IP communities, and poor households are more vulnerable in the persistence of local armed conflicts. Hence, this study aimed to measure the differential effect of armed conflict on the food, nutritional intakes, and health status of children, by comparing the results between conflict and non-conflict areas. The study used descriptive statistics, t-test, and propensity score matching method (PSM) to compare the living standards, nutrition, health, and food security situation of each area. Results suggest that households in the conflict area are poor. This relates to the problems of food availability, livelihood, and food access. However, none of these problems were attributed to the occurrence of armed conflict. The general issue remains on the poverty situation of the area, and the constrained access to basic services. The assessment of the health status of children in Talaingod, showed that children are 4.72in shorter, 13.09 lb heavier, and had 0.41 in wider waist compared to their counterparts from non-conflict areas. These children are characterized with bloated bellies, thin arms and legs, and flaked/scaly skin commonly associated with the illness 'kwashiorkor'. Children and households from the conflict area are more food insecure, but have 7.3-point more BMI score. It is noteworthy, that conflict affected children are eating enough quantity of food to compensate for their daily requirements, but are not eating the proper quality to ensure physical growth and development. A food and nutritional scheme specific for children in conflict and upland communities, which will be culturally sensitive and will not discriminate the practices and resources of the natives, should be created to address the issue of malnutrition, and would provide a sustainable food source for the community.
