UNICEF is there for children before, during and after emergencies. Every day we are responding to over 412 emergencies around the world including Burundi, Lebanon, Sudan, Ukraine, Viet Nam, Gaza, Myanmar, PNG and many more.
When war breaks out or climate disaster strikes, the chaos and insecurity that follows leaves children and their families at high risk. They may lose their home, school and often loved ones. Their access to food, water and health care is affected, and many children are left vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
We can’t stop emergencies from happening, but we can ensure that more children survive and are supported. That means being on the ground, delivering life-saving support before, during and after emergencies happen.
"Today, there are more children in need of humanitarian assistance than at any other time in recent history." - Catherine Russell, UNICEF Executive Director

Over 95% of homes in this district were destroyed, and in the six most affected districts, over 3,000 homes were lost. UNICEF continues on the ground responding to children in need.
UNICEF is entirely donor funded, meaning to provide the scale of lifesaving treatment and long-term change, we rely on support from the private sector and individuals like you.
Your donations will ensure we are ready to respond when emergencies strike, and we thank you for your contribution. If you choose to donate monthly or should we receive more funds than is needed for this emergency, your gift will support UNICEF's work where the need is greatest.
You can help a child impacted by conflict and crisis. Donate to UNICEF today.
